Life sciences have been a vibrant part of the Michigan economy even before the first car rolled off the assembly line. Detroit was home to the most important pharmaceutical firm in America, Parke-Davis, which introduced new production methods such as standardized doses, and the first treatments for diphtheria and epilepsy. From Dow Chemical to the headquarters of Stryker and Perrigo, Michigan’s life sciences industry continues to expand the frontiers of medical knowledge.

The 21st Century Jobs Fund is bringing a new round of investment to life sciences companies, large and small – more than $2 billion over 10 years – sparking innovation and further diversifying our state’s economy. And the Michigan Pipeline will soon initiate commercialization pathways complete with advice and guidance from experienced, business savvy mentors and vital services to help turn ideas into marketable products that improve life.

Whether yours is an expanding company, a fledgling startup, or a research institution, there is a thriving home for the life sciences in Michigan, and we invite you to be part
of it.
