Grand Island, NY

Your Bridge to Life Sciences Commercialization

in Buffalo Niagara

Grand Island is home to a strong cluster of life sciences companies, established long before "Life Sciences" became economic growth buzzwords.

The Town of Grand Island's life sciences cluster includes businesses that provide products and services for the medical fields such as the manufacture of medical and surgical devices, pharmaceuticals, research and testing. This life sciences cluster is characterized by intensive and highly reciprocal crossover and technology transfer among private-sector firms, the Buffalo Niagara region's academic community and private research institutes.

The Grand Island Town Board has made a significant investment in the growth of the life sciences sector, from efforts to attract top companies to the establishment of the Grand Island Economic Development Advisory Board to support the biosciences and other business growth.
