Tennessee is home to some of the world's leading life science companies and research institutions and consistently ranks among the nation's top states for venture capital invested in the biosciences.

Focused on technology, talent and capital, Tennessee is investing in the bioeconomy in unprecedented ways:

•  More than $2.2 billion in combined annual research among its academic & federal research institutions.
•  Four Research Parks across East, Middle and West Tennessee.
•  A new $87 million pool of venture capital being made available to help grow innovative new companies in the early stages of development.
