“It appears life science has arrived in North Texas.”
Kelly Cloud
VP of Development, Life Sciences
Dallas Regional Chamber
.…on the kickoff of the BioNTX ic3 Life Science Summit, which doubled attendance year over year.
Cloud was just one of many attendees buzzing at today’s kickoff of BioNTX’ 9th annual iC³ Life Science Summit at the Irving Convention Center, which has doubled attendance year over year.
The two-day summit is bringing together top minds in North Texas to exchange ideas, network, learn about new technologies and trends, and discuss the future of bioscience and healthcare.
With a theme of “Innovation, Capital, Collaboration, Commercialization”—or iC³—the summit unites researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, corporations, and support organizations to forge the relationships that drive progress.
One thing everyone’s talking about at iC3? This week’s news that the new federal Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health has selected a Texas consortium for one of three regional hubs in its $2.5 billion health innovation network initiative. The Customer Experience hub will be physically located at Dallas’ Pegasus Park.
iC3 continues Friday. You can read all about the summit, the eight “Rising Star” early-stage companies being honored at it, and more in our story here.
