Florida Biotech Exchange

Membership

The Florida Life Science Council

A statewide peer network for seasoned life science executives. The Council convenes founders, C-suite leaders, and investors across Florida's biotech corridors for closed-door discussion, deal flow, and peer counsel.

Affiliated with the Gulf Coast Collaborative — CXO Life Science Meeting

Why the Council

A private table for Florida's life science leaders

The Council convenes the operators shaping the state's bioeconomy — for the conversations that don't happen on a conference stage. Membership is intentionally small and vetted.

Membership is by application and reviewed on a rolling basis.

    Candid, off-the-record conversation among peers navigating the same operating challenges.

  • Deal flow & introductions

    Warm connections to co-investors, partners, and talent across Florida's biotech corridors.
