Startup NOLA: Nucleate X NOBIC Year of Impact
Join Nucleate New Orleans, StartUp NOLA, and the New Orleans BioInnovation Center on Tuesday, May 5th for an evening of connection, celebration, and momentum as we bring together the local biotech and innovation community. This special networking event will highlight Nucleate's partnership with NOBIC and our achievements over the past year—from supporting emerging founders to fostering collaboration across academia and industry—while creating space for new ideas and partnerships to take root.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet fellow students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals passionate about advancing biotech in the Gulf South. Through meaningful conversations and shared celebration, we aim to strengthen our growing ecosystem and look ahead to the exciting opportunities in the future.
Presentations by Nucleate, StartUP NOLA, and NOBIC leadership will highlight their impact over the last year and introduce future events from both organizations. Attendees will also hear from our keynote speaker (TBA) about what it means to get involved in biotech innovation without a science background and why New Orleans is the best place for this type of innovation!
Plus, since it's Cinco de Mayo, come enjoy some Tex-Mex bites and drinks on us!
Whether you’ve been a part of Nucleate’s journey or are just getting involved, this event is a chance to reflect on our progress, expand your network, and be a part of what comes next.
Spots are limited. RSVP to secure your spot!
We can't wait to see you there!
