Team Tries To Draw Industries To Solano
By Andrea Garcia

FAIRFIELD - The Solano Economic Development Corp. will participate in the 2007 BIO international Convention in Boston May 6-7 to draw more industrial leaders to Solano County.

Michael Ammann, president of EDC, and a team of economic development specialists from throughout California will attend the convention, working as part of the Team California in an effort to attract more business to the state.

The convention garners more than 20,000 leaders in the biotech field.

Team California focuses on establishing contacts with potential companies that are start-ups, rapidly expanding or planning to relocate to the state. At selected regional and national conferences the team members network to create and maintain relationship with targeted industry leaders.

"For Solano County, this means EDC is able to come home with a list of potential companies that have expressed interest in learning more about our communities," Ammann said.
