LETTERS OF SUPPORT
BioDistrict New Orleans is an economic development district that works to grow the biosciences sector of the New Orleans economy.

We’re working to transform our region into a national leader for health research and treatment, and a model for inclusive, equitable job growth.
Health care, economic development, higher education, business, and nonprofit leaders are working collaboratively to harness expertise, assets, and opportunities to position New Orleans as a global center of excellence in research and healthcare specialties (e.g. neurodegenerative diseases).
We believe that with the right investments, the BioDistrict can serve as the physical center for a job-creating, medical center of excellence, with healthcare industry anchors, world-class research, biotech startups, and small businesses. We’re working to position the BioDistrict as a model for equity and economic inclusion, including small business creation and local hiring and training to increase the wealth of residents in the region.
