Global Innovation Network
North Carolina's Eastern Region is part of the Global Innovation Network (GIN), a global network of emerging life science regions helping each other compete with and complement larger communities. GIN links development organizations and research institutions in supporting the life sciences in emerging life science regions around the world. The founding partners are North Carolina's Eastern Region; Jagiellonian University's Center of Innovation, Ltd., of Krakow, Poland; and the BIOARATEC Region of Zaragoza, Spain.
Based in Greenville, North Carolina, GIN is a member-directed, not-for-profit corporation that welcomes new members from around the world who share a vision of creating and expanding life science businesses. The life sciences communities that make up GIN work to:
- Share assets, best practices and intellectual property
- Attract investment, create new life science companies and businesses
- Expand existing companies, technology transfer and research
- Bundle technologies and improve cross-border licensing opportunities
It all adds up to an environment that can help any life sciences business maximize its opportunities. GIN is another reason the Eastern Region is one of America's most successful and fastest growing life sciences regions.
