While the capital and resources for Pharmaceutical startups aren't yet available in Wilmington, the city does have a growing Life Sciences sector with TECHNOLOGY involved in the industry. While Wilmington has an evolving economy that is inclusive of Life Sciences, we continue to deepen our relationship to the Raleigh / Durham resources to help Wilmington startups. In the last year, both OpiAID and Boreas Monitoring Solutions have won on the big stages in North Carolina to represent the Wilmington ecosystem and our evolution into an innovation economy. So what is NEXT? If Life Sciences is one of the top three industries in North Carolina, how will Wilmington grow this sector with GREAT paying jobs?
