We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the "Regional Approach to Entrepreneurship: When Innovation Isn’t Enough" panel at TEDCO’s 2024 Entrepreneur Expo.

Together, we discussed the shifting dynamics of life sciences innovation, from addressing challenges like shortages in diverse talent and funding gaps in critical life-science sectors - such as Pediatrics – to exploring new opportunities for collaboration and growth. It’s clear that going forward, adapting to this changing landscape requires bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and a unified regional effort.
