Denver, CO, October 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- For three days, representatives from the Colorado BioScience Association (CBSA), Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation and the Greater Colorado Springs Economic Development Corporation will be showcasing Colorado’s medical device and diagnostics sectors during the annual AdvaMed: The MedTech Conference. The announcement is made by John Collar, CBSA Executive Director, who says more than 1,400 industry leaders – including 500+ CEOs, Presidents and C-level executives will be attending the AdvaMed: The MedTech Conference, October 12-14.

“This will be the CBSA’s third year participating in the AdvaMed Conference and each year the potential connections and opportunity to showcase Colorado’s medical device and diagnostics industries becomes even more abundant,” said Collar. “According to our new state of the industry report, the Denver Metro region ranks 19th among all U.S. metro areas in the size of our medical device sector, and Boulder, Colorado ranks first in the nation in its concentration of employment in the medical device sector among medium-sized metros. Colorado is positioned as a leader in this sector and this conference provides us an opportunity to promote the state.”

The four Colorado entities are looking forward to sharing the vast opportunities that Colorado has to offer the medical device and diagnostic companies that are looking to either expand or relocate their operations. Colorado has an opportunity to boast that the Denver metro region ranks 19th among all US Metro areas in the size of its medical device sector and Boulder ranks first in the nation in its concentration of medical device sectors among medium-sized metro areas. The medical device sector is also the fastest growing bioscience sector in the state.
