-Clinics Provide Timely Information on Immigration Law and Life Sciences Clinical Trials Overseas-

SALT LAKE CITY – June 11, 2008 – With technology quickly lessening the divide that used to exist between nations, there is an ever-increasing need for business technology leaders to recognize and understand the resources available to them. This month the Utah Technology Council (UTC) is offering three clinics designed to educate business leaders on these resources, specifically as it relates to the issues of immigration law and clinical life science trials overseas.

“Utah is a hot spot for technological development,” says Richard Nelson, UTC CEO. “It’s important for Utah’s business leaders to understand how to effectively utilize the vast resources that are available to them worldwide. These types of clinics are an invaluable resource and an excellent way to expand your business model.”
