Six Life Sciences Companies will 
Call Buffalo Home
By Alan Rosenhoch, BNE Business Development Manager

The inaugural edition of the world's largest business idea competition, 43North, has come to a resounding close and 11 winners will now call Buffalo their home. It should come as no surprise that the life sciences industry is very well represented among the winning companies, with more than half operating in this burgeoning sector. With our wealth of industry assets and the growth of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, it's clear why so many biotech and medical device companies are looking to Buffalo Niagara as a great region in which to grow their business. The region's rich history of innovation was also showcased during 43North, with the premier of this fantastic new video: Next Things Now.
 



Bright Buffalo Niagara Shines Light on Entrepreneurship

On October 29, 2014, during 43North Week, a spotlight event promoting investment, partnership and entrepreneurship was held at the University at Buffalo Clinical and Translational Research Center on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. In collaboration with 43North, Bright Buffalo Niagara invited 43North semifinalists from across the globe to exhibit at the Bright Buffalo Semifinalist Meet-Up and mix and mingle with venture capitalist and angel investors.
