California research institutes, universities, and biopharmaceutical companies are a critical source of innovation, contributing to the development of approximately a quarter of new drugs that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved last year. But despite the breakthroughs, more mundane issues of tariffs, drug pricing, and access to funding continue to weigh on leaders within the sector. We spoke to Tim Scott, president and CEO of Biocom California, about the current state of the biotech industry, a surge in mergers and acquisitions driven by the looming patent cliff, and what Biocom is doing to support companies through partnerships, advocacy, and policy reform.

The emergence of TechBio takes center stage at this year’s BioFuture conference, which will be held in New York City, one of the emerging centers of this new breed of companies. The conference will explore the transformative forces from AI to digital medicine that are reshaping healthcare. The conference, which will be held October 28 to 30, brings together innovators and investors to exchange ideas, discuss trends, and do business. We spoke to event organizer Sara Demy, co-founder and CEO of Demy-Colton, about BioFuture, how innovative technologies are transforming the healthcare landscape, and why it is unlike other biotech conferences.
