Several biotechnology-related companies have already made a home in Manhattan, such as Nanoscale, a company that develops and commercializes NanoActive materials, and NutriJoy, Inc., a company based upon donated technologies. In December 2007, General Electric Aviation announced the selection of KSU for the location of a University Development Center. Work performed at the site will include software development, verification and validation, mechanical design, and hardware design, eventually resulting in the creation of over 40 engineering jobs. Manhattan represents the best of all worlds: top research facilities, a dynamic college atmosphere, and an appealing living environment that is winning notice all over the country. Iowa: A Growing Bioeconomy In Iowa, bioscience critical mass and raw biomass are abundant, and scientists and researchers find the support they need to develop the complex solutions the world is seeking. The state’s bioeconomy is fueled by rapid growth in the fields of renewable energy and plant, animal, and human genomics. Through the research strength of Iowa’s world-class universities, probusiness environment, and enviable quality of life, an increasing number of businesses, researchers, and scientists are finding the state of Iowa to be life-changing. The proof is in the rankings. Iowa ranks first in the nation in biotechnology, according to Business Facilities, a position earned through Iowa’s advancements in the agricultural feedstock and chemicals category. And according to a 2004 Battelle Memorial Institute report, Iowa’s bioscience strengths are in bioeconomy, advanced food and feed, animal systems, integrated postgenomic medicine, integrated drug discovery, development and production, integrated biosecurity, and biomedical imaging. Iowa’s prominence in bioscience is bolstered by three funding streams that allow companies to foster innovation and grow their workforces: • The Iowa Values Fund, a $500 million business incentive fund, is set aside to create more bioscience companies and careers in Iowa. They are on the cutting-edge of the fashion world. We are developing cutting-edge science for a better world.
