New Orleans BioInnovation Center

Our MISSION is to empower Louisiana innovators to create successful biotech businesses by providing them with access to customized commercialization services, premier facilities, and a comprehensive support network. As the region's only independent not-for-profit life sciences incubator, NOBIC convenes industry stakeholders and provides strategic guidance and support to local early-stage and emerging health and technology companies.

The New Orleans BioInnovation Center 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 with missions including economic development and bioscience advancement 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.

The BioInnovation Center depends on philanthropic support from industry partners, private foundations, and individuals. Your GiveNOLA Day donation will help us to hire local high school and college students for paid summer internships, exposing them to the wide array of career opportunities at the intersection of business and science. Thank you for your support!
