TUCSON, AZ, and IRVING, TX –– North Texas’ thriving innovation ecosystem will be in the spotlight this September as two premier events bring R&D leaders from across the country to connect, exchange ideas and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
The IC³ Life Science & Healthcare Innovation Summit on September 24 – 25, is North Texas’ foremost gathering for the bioscience and healthcare community. Hosted by BioNTX, the Summit convenes industry leaders, pioneering researchers, investors and innovators to explore what’s next in life sciences and healthcare. Built around the theme “Innovation = Capital × Collaboration × Commercialization,” IC³ creates a platform for meaningful connections and conversations that will help shape the future of the industry in North Texas and beyond.
