Bioscience research and business are on the move in Kansas, and it’s no accident. This is a place of amazing innovation and success. From biofuels to healthcare to animal health and sciences, we’re proven national leaders, with top scientists and companies choosing to do their work right here.

With this foundation, our state has taken a strategic and visionary approach to accelerating the growth of bioscience. The Kansas Bioscience Authority is one example. The authority was created to give researchers and entrepreneurs a committed partner for success — with unique tools to provide financial investment, offer strategic guidance, and bring the right people and organizations together for success.

This is a place where you can find tremendous support to thrive in bioscience, and now is the time to seize opportunity in Kansas. We are attracting scholars and researchers with our infrastructure and resources. Leading businesses have created a powerful bio corridor in the region. And with a wide range of assistance available, there is no better place or time to build a successful bioscience enterprise.

Take a moment to check out our programs, and then let us know how we can be your partner for bioscience success.

“We are very excited about the collaboration that has taken place with the Kansas Bioscience Authority and are looking forward to bringing new job opportunities to the local community with this important investment in our business.”
