The discussion series’ mission is to highlight NYC’s strengths as a leading biotech, financial, and life science hub, capable of competing with other major markets in the U.S. With support from government programs and the opportunity to create meaningful partnerships, this initial event will also serve as a rallying cry for all industries to do their part in contributing to the current momentum across NYC in order to solidify it as the country’s premier biotech hub.

“Innovation, mentorship and funding are all equally critical for biotechs to thrive,” said Seema Kumar, CEO of Cure. “Fostering collaboration across the tech, healthcare, finance, and public and private sectors is at the heart of Cure’s mission and the necessary ingredient to usher New York City as the life science capital of the world.”
