New Orleans BioInnovation Center

The New Orleans BioInnovation Center (NOBIC) is a private, not-for-profit business incubator, supporting entrepreneurship and dedicated to the development of bioscience innovation throughout Louisiana. The Center works directly with entrepreneurs and researchers to commercialize new technologies spinning out of Louisiana universities and healthcare institutions, as well as those developed by independent innovators, to start and scale new globally competitive life science companies.

NOBIC's work is accelerating the growth of Louisiana's biosciences ecosystem and improving healthcare worldwide. As a leader in business development and a statewide economic driver, Louisiana institutions look to NOBIC for guidance, education, and networking. NOBIC is committed to growing the high-tech entrepreneurial ecosystem across the state in real mission-driven, equitable, and sustainable ways.

Since opening in 2011, NOBIC has assisted more than 350 emerging companies across the state who have attracted over $500 million in funding to the region to fund new jobs and support research and technology development.

NOBIC depends on philanthropic support from industry partners, private foundations, and individuals. When you give on GiveNola day, you give:
