Memphis Is Building a Promising
Bioscience Future.

Bioscience is changing the world. Its impact is on the news, on the pages of medical journals, and on the minds of community leaders across the nation. It's the fastest growing industry in the United States. Even with heavy competition nationwide, the Mid-South is emerging as one of the leading centers for bioscience thanks to a strategy orchestrated by the Memphis Bioworks Foundation.

A nonprofit organization, the Foundation is executing a methodical business plan that leverages the area's impressive competitive strengths while expanding the infrastructure, educational opportunities, and entrepreneur support needed to grow the burgeoning bioscience industry. But the Foundation's vision goes beyond business motivations. The real rewards are reflected in the community.

Building Bioscience. Creating Opportunities.
Changing Lives.

Enriching educational experiences. High-paying jobs. Expanded tax base. Revitalized neighborhoods. In short, part of the Foundation's mission is promoting the evolution of an economy that enhances the quality of life throughout our community. Bioscience is simply the means to achieve that goal. The Foundation's initiatives are creating an atmosphere where bioscience - and our community - will thrive now and well into the future.
