Place Based Innovation: Biotech Startup Hub
FACEBOOK invite here
Our "Place Based Innovation" series examines how a biotechnology hub develops around a world-class research university. Charlottesville's evolving set of biotechnology innovators are establishing start-ups in Charlottesville and one local firm has proposed redeveloping the historic Coca-Cola bottling plant (pictured) into a bio-tech start-up hub. With a renewed focus on innovation at the University of Virginia, what does the future hold for biotechnology in our community?
