Big 5: Champion Gary Forsee

Big 5 Champion Gary Forsee joins Nick Haines to discuss the efforts to host a global symposium on innovations in animal health as part of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce's Big 5 Ideas.

It doesn’t get the same attention as Kansas City’s quest to become a mecca for the life sciences or our push to be America’s most entrepreneriurial city, but Kansas City’s zeal to be the global center for animal health research is far further along than any of those efforts.

Many people don’t realize that our region already is home to four of the top 10 largest animal health companies in the world.

Championing an effort by the Chamber of Commerce to now bring a world symposium on animal health to Kansas City is a well known name to Kansas Citians…Gary Forsee.
