Iowa’s reputation and success as a bioscience epicenter is characterized by a continuous focus on innovation and collaboration. The transformation of the Iowa Innovation Corporation into BioConnect Iowa is another element of this narrative advancing the state’s thriving biosciences industry.

Innovation in biosciences offers a great opportunity for Iowa. The State will lead the effort to sustainably feed 10 billion people who will inhabit the world in 2050. Our producers will benefit by improving their operations and start-ups will develop and grow, providing opportunities for youth. All this will lift rural communities. BioConnect Iowa plays an important part in achieving these outcomes.
