Biotech firms can learn from medical device firms.
The non-profit volunteer organization has about 90 member companies and about 200 people volunteering their time and energy to tie life science firms together. Life science firms are those working with biology, biotechnology, medical devices and medical sciences. LINC also counts among its members companies in support industries such as finance, legal, marketing and professional recruitment. One of LINC's most important missions, according to Anderson, is work with universities to ensure their programs reflect the needs of the life science community. LINC focuses on Orange County.
