Reflection:
Entrepreneurs support the society. Without them, the society will not be able to develop and improve. For instance, BIO represents an industry that has already provided more than 250 million people with benefits from more than 130 commercially approved drugs, biologics and vaccines. More than 75 percent of these medicines have been approved in the past six years. There are more than 350 biotech drug products and vaccines in late-stage clinical trials to treat more than 200 diseases, including various cancers, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and arthritis.
With BIO and other bio entrepreneurs, people can gain medical support and healthcare. Thus, we can continue to live in a healthy and safe environment.
