Sponsored Activities

In addition to our core investment program – The Greenhouse Fund – which provides funding for emerging companies and academic projects involving novel therapeutics, devices and diagnostics, BioAdvance also sponsors initiatives that are integral in our region’s continued leadership position in life sciences.

One such program that BioAdvance and other regional leaders sponsored is a study of the Greater Philadelphia region's position in life sciences (performed by the Milken Institute). The study, "The Greater Philadelphia Life Sciences Cluster 2009" named the region as a top-tier global life sciences cluster. As an outcome of the study, BioAdvance along with the Science Center and Wharton Small Business Development Center co-developed and held two follow-on programs to help keep our region's world leading professional talent working. The programs were Career GPS, held in late 2009 and Entrepreneur On Ramp, held in 2010.

BioAdvance also initiated the development of the Greater Philadelphia Life Sciences Guide (GPLSG), which is an online listing of life sciences and related support organizations neighboring and located in the Greater Philadelphia area. The GPLSG has received more than 1 million page views to date, and is updated annually. The database was officially launched at BIO 2007 with project co-sponsors Select Greater Philadelphia (SGP) and University City Keystone Innovation Zone (UCKIZ). Visit www.look4science.com to register your organization or to learn more.
