Since 2001, BioSTL has fueled the local economy through three major impact areas: creating high-growth startups, developing a bioscience workforce and building St. Louis’ reputation and capability for innovation. More than 600 guests gathered at The Ritz-Carlton to celebrate the nonprofit’s first-ever gala. The evening highlighted the 25 years of impact the nonprofit has had in the region.
