Advocating for a growing biotech ecosystem in a thriving community.

Biocom California’s advocacy work began in San Diego, where we have continued to push for consistent, reliable access to water and other utilities since our founding in 1995. We advocate for land use and zoning policies that identify areas for future life science developments along with predictable and timely permitting processes. We support sustainability measures that take lab processes into account and assess current available infrastructure, along with improvements to storm channels, transit networks, and middle-income housing construction.
