This week, Danielle Morrissey, Vice President of Economic Development for the Round Rock Chamber, traveled to San Diego to attend the BIO International Convention, the world’s largest biotechnology event along with regional partners. Representing the City of Round Rock, Danielle joined thousands of biotechnology executives, researchers, investors, and economic development professionals from around the globe to strengthen relationships and promote Round Rock as a premier destination for life sciences investment.

Throughout the four-day convention, Danielle met with biotechnology companies, contract research organizations, pharmaceutical manufacturers and industry partners evaluating expansion opportunities. Discussions focused on Round Rock’s growing life sciences ecosystem, highly educated workforce, strategic Central Texas location, and business-friendly environment.
