Life Sciences
From the increased funding for university biomedical research to the arrival of several esteemed research institutes – from the growing number of state-of-the-art facilities to the growing ranks of talented scientists – Southwest Florida’s emergence as a brighter place for life sciences has been swift and definitive.
The principal biomedical technology sectors in our region include genetic testing, surgical and medical instruments, and pharmaceuticals. Higher education institutions, such as Florida Gulf Coast University, are leading the way for Southwest Florida’s future growth through advanced biotechnology programs.
Babcock Ranch in Fort Myers, the first city to be powered by the sun – with the majority of its electric needs to be generated from the largest onsite solar photovoltaic energy facility powering any city on earth – is attracting the interest of biotech companies and businesses in related fields.
Southwest Florida is on the cutting edge of these new technologies, and our five counties are working together to make it easier for new companies to relocate and grow their businesses in our region.
