And, we are pushing forward some of the most compelling technology breakthroughs of our time. As such, this year’s forum—formerly “Invest Northwest”—has been refocused and rebranded to better identify and highlight these unique and powerful assets, defining the Pacific Northwest’s life sciences sector.
