Join us for a showcase of life sciences in The Woodlands! This event, taking place the morning of April 10, will feature a vendor exhibition, presentations from business, academic and community development leaders, and a panel discussion on The Woodlands’ life sciences ecosystem.

Spanning across five sites totaling over 80 acres, The Woodlands Innovation District is optimally positioned to meet the needs of companies focused on in-house manufacturing (from biopharma to industrial biology), as well as contract development manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). The Woodlands Innovation District is located in the rapidly growing cluster of life science research and development and biomanufacturing in The Woodlands, anchored by Cellipont Bioservices, Millipore Sigma, VGXI, and KBI Biopharma, among others. The dynamic environment and amenity base afforded by The Woodlands provides the ideal backdrop for life science companies and their workforce.
