Life Sciences

From the increased funding for university bio-medical research and the arrival of renowned research institutes to the growing number of state-of-the-art facilities and the influx 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 like Florida Gulf Coast University are leading the way for Southwest Florida’s future growth through advanced biotechnology programs.

Babcock Ranch in Fort Myers is attracting the interest of biotech companies and businesses in related fields. The first city to be powered by the sun, the majority of Babcock's electric needs will be generated from the largest onsite solar photovoltaic energy facility powering any city on earth. Southwest Florida is on the cutting edge of these new technologies, and our six counties are working together to make it easier for new companies to relocate and grow their businesses in our region.
