The bioscience industry is instrumental to the Oklahoma City economy, accounting for more than $6 billion in annual revenue and 50,000 jobs. That’s why we created the Oklahoma Biotech Innovation Cluster (OBIC), a coalition to grow the sector, elevate new businesses and become a leading state in the biotechnology industry. In September 2022, the U.S. Economic Development Administration awarded OBIC $35 million through the Build Back Better Regional Challenge. The OBIC coalition is supported by more than 40 partners across academia, tribal nations, government and more. The partners support initiatives to foster inclusive access to high-wage jobs, increase research and development programs and expand critical scientific infrastructure.
