Dear Entrepreneur,
Here is your invitation to attend the Ohio Valley Affiliates for Life Sciences (OVALS) conference March 6, 2006 and March 7, 2006 in Lexington, KY.
Since its formation in 2002, the OVALS annual "Bridges to
Collaboration" conferences have engaged and promoted collaboration among universities, research institutions, governments and businesses throughout the region.
Please see details below on how to RSVP to this event.
Why engage the OVALS region?
The founding partner universities attract and expend approximately $650 million per year on basic and applied research, which generates over 240 intellectual property disclosures per year. In 2003, the addition to OVALS of the Human Effectiveness Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory added $2 billion in research resources to the already impressive base.
In addition, this collaborative relationship contains many of the critical elements necessary to compete on a national basis:
- A wide range of state-of-the-art biomedical research facilities.
- A significant number of researchers with world-class reputations in BioDefense, Entrepreneurship, Cancer, Drug Development, Cardiovascular Science.
- Increased attraction and availability of capital from funds including Chrysalis.
- Strategic and innovative corporate collaborations focused on commercialization of university life sciences research.
- Robust entrepreneurial support systems with clear access to experienced know-how.
- Strong support foundations from two state and four local governments.
