Iowa, building on success in agriculture and research capabilities in plant, animal and human health, has earned its reputation as a bioscience epicenter with a focus on innovation and collaboration. From startups in the state’s research parks to globally respected companies, the biosciences industry in Iowa continues to grow at a rapid rate. Iowa’s diverse economy is fueled by a highly educated and productive workforce and is enhanced even further with state-led job training programs. Alongside biosciences, the state has strengths in the advanced manufacturing and finance and insurance industries and is a leader in renewable energy. Iowa is perfectly positioned in the center of the United States with convenient transportation and a robust infrastructure. With one of the lowest costs of doing business in the country, research and development tax credits, comprehensive financial assistance programs, development-ready sites and a pro-business state government, Iowa’s business climate is primed for opportunity. The Iowa Economic Development Authority has the resources to meet the needs of business. Visit iowaeda.com.
