BioDistrict New Orleans encompasses 1,500 acres spanning the Downtown and Mid-City areas of New Orleans. The BioDistrict is focused on the development of a biosciences industry in New Orleans that will provide world-class biosciences research and development; local, regional, and global healthcare delivery; and stable, high-paying jobs for professionals, managers and workers representing a wide range of skills. Through partnerships among major educational and research institutions, private companies, government agencies, and independent foundations, BioDistrict New Orleans will create opportunities for workforce training and research needed to build a successful biosciences industry.
In addition to its focus on economic development within the city and the region, BioDistrict New Orleans strongly supports efforts related to environmental sustainability, through the creation of a potential Center for Coastal Restoration as well the presence of The Building Block Green Industry Center located within the BioDistrict. Combined with the innovative and entrepreneurial culture of the city, these two areas of economic development and environmental sustainability will help secure a resilient future for the City of New Orleans.
