NEW ORLEANS - Delegates from the New Orleans BioInnovation Center (NOBIO), lead agency of the Gulf Coast Health Sciences Corridor, recently traveled to Belgium to attend BIO Day with Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards on a Department of Economic Development-sponsored trip.
Representatives from NOBIC and GCHSC promoted foreign investments in Louisiana and showcased New Orleans as a destination for professionals, researchers and potential partners in biotechnology.
“It’s clear that Louisiana ... has captivated international biotech firms seeking a thriving environment for their growth,” said Kris Khalil, executive director of New Orleans BioInnovation Center.
The New Orleans BioInnovation Center is a state-of-the-art facility of development and groundbreaking research with an extensive network of industry leaders.
Companies taking advantage of the state's incentive programs have increased capital investment in Louisiana for five years in a row topping $20B in two consecutive years.
“Life sciences' investments cannot only create jobs and stimulate economic activity, they can literally save lives,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said. (NOBIO 06/28/23)
