  • The Buzz

    Excitement was evident throughout the day of the Summit and reverberated afterward through online engagement from State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, World Business Chicago, and many others, including:

    “I want to give a loud shoutout to the Chicago Biomedical Consortium for the impressive work to develop the most optimal conditions allowing innovation from Chicago-based universities University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago and Northwestern University to be translated toward meaningful products for patients and mobilized into startups and/or industry partners (…)” J&J Innovation

    “A big congratulations to …the CBC … in bringing together a fantastic group of individuals. It was incredible to see so many founders, investors and biotech partners come together to hear how Chicago is supporting the growth of early-stage science companies (…)” IndieBio

    “I’ve never seen anything like this event in the city in the close to 20 years I’ve been working with startups. Simply amazing! Thanks for highlighting great innovation in Chicago (…). This event just let us shine a bit brighter. Go #Chicago!” Rhaeos
