What is the Hub?
The Hub exists to grow the bioscience ecosystem in Wyoming. It is a collection of resources and programs within the University of Wyoming focused on bioscience, but in close partnership with existing UW and State of Wyoming business assistance entities.
Why does the Hub exist?
Bioscience and health programs and companies assisted by the Hub will provide jobs, diversity in Wyoming’s economy, and provide opportunities for graduates and students in the state.
How does the Hub operate?
The Hub adds unique value to bioscience projects by connecting entrepreneurs to resources, funding, advisors, facilities, and project management.
The key components of the Hub form a private/public partnership:
