SCbio, in partnership with the S.C. Department of Commerce, continues to showcase South Carolina’s rapidly expanding industry, define its sectors and attract companies and individuals alike to “Build the life—and the science—that propels the future.”
Its latest video features leaders in three regions of the Palmetto State – Blue Sky Labs, The Ritedose Corporation and Poly-Med Inc. – who share how the state’s pioneering life sciences community provides the ideal mix of professional opportunity, personal fulfillment and quality of life — all while creating life-changing impact for people in their backyard and around the world.
The full campaign, “Life + Science,” underscores how South Carolina’s ambitious, world-class life sciences ecosystem offers a welcoming community for companies, scientific researchers, and other organizations looking to blaze a new trail in the life sciences.
In 2024, the S.C. Department of Commerce released its strategic framework for economic growth, the guide for the state’s economic development efforts to increase its competitiveness for new business and capital investments. Through data-driven research, S.C. Commerce identified the life sciences as one of three long-term areas of focus to enhance economic prosperity.
“Our life sciences industry is making extraordinary strides, and this year only continues to highlight the dynamic growth happening in South Carolina,” said Dr. James Chappell, president and chief executive officer of SCbio. “From cutting-edge research to the growth of startups across the state, there’s significant momentum happening here. This is the fastest-growing segment of the state’s economy, and we have an incredible story to tell.”
