Early-stage companies can now apply for the funded Lab Bench program provided by LifeSciKY, which comes equipped with essential resources for burgeoning companies in the scientific field.
LifeSciKY, a Covington-based life sciences and biotech hub, has opened applications for a sponsored lab bench, funded by a special bourbon release collaboration between New Riff Distilling and Blue North, and a matching donation from Blue North. The deadline for applications is August 31.
The fully-funded lab bench will be located at LifeSciKY's 15,000-square-foot state-of-the-art lab, set to open later this year. The winner of the sponsored lab bench will also receive a full co-working membership at SparkHaus, sponsored by St. Elizabeth Healthcare.
Interested entrepreneurs and start-ups are encouraged to apply if they are early-stage founders working on life sciences and biotech innovations. Applicants can visit LifeSciKY's website (https://lifeski.ky/com) to fill out the online contact form.
The selection process will involve representatives from New Riff Distilling and Blue North, who will choose the winners, with the announcement scheduled for mid-September. The lab space funding comes from the bourbon release and Blue North's donation, which was made possible by the Northern Kentucky Entrepreneur Fund.
LifeSciKY's mission is to provide entrepreneurs with a place to innovate, grow, and succeed, and to elevate the life sciences ecosystem. The organisation is inspired by Kentucky's legacy of innovation in the bourbon industry and aims to position Kentucky as a nationally recognised hub for life sciences innovation.
SparkHaus membership will connect LifeSciKY lab residents to a supportive community, providing them with valuable resources and networking opportunities. The Northern Kentucky Entrepreneur Fund has supported over 40 entrepreneurs with over $500k in support since its launch in 2023.
LifeSciKY's sponsored lab bench is part of its efforts to foster innovation in Northern Kentucky. The selected entrepreneur will have access to state-of-the-art lab equipment and will join a growing community of life sciences and biotech entrepreneurs.
The winner of the sponsored lab bench will be announced ahead of LifeSciKY's lab opening and will have the opportunity to be at the forefront of life sciences innovation in Kentucky. Don't miss out on this opportunity – apply now at LifeSciKY.com!
