Cork's Carbon Valley leading biotech innovation

Cork has all the attributes to position itself as the world’s premier location for biotech startups, with the IndieBio accelerator programme having set the foundation for success.

Much like the Silicon Valley tech hub in San Francisco, Cork’s ability to offer world-leading expertise at a cost premium could have a transformational effect.

As home to the world’s first biotech accelerator in 2014, which this year expanded to accommodate nine companies, Cork is already at the forefront of innovation in the sector, according to IndieBio scientific director Cathal Garvey.
