Orange County Business Council

The Orange County Business Council (OCBC) is a prominent business advocacy organization based in Irvine, California, representing the interests of the business community in one of the nation's largest regional economies. While not a life sciences company itself, OCBC plays a critical role in supporting the local biotechnology, medical device, and healthcare sectors through economic development initiatives and public policy advocacy. The council serves as a primary voice for Orange County's diverse industries, facilitating collaboration between the public and private sectors to ensure a pro-business environment. Its efforts include publishing comprehensive economic reports on the regional life science industry and hosting forums that connect industry leaders with policymakers to drive innovation and workforce development.
