Biotech Means Business: The Growth Shaping North Carolina’s Future will bring together leaders from across North Carolina’s life sciences and economic development community to explore what is driving the industry’s growth—and what it means for Charlotte’s commercial real estate market.

The conversation will examine Charlotte’s evolution as an emerging life sciences hub, including the factors influencing corporate location and expansion decisions, the impact of investments such as Eli Lilly’s Concord campus and The Pearl, and the role of talent, workforce development, site readiness, infrastructure, incentives, and real estate in attracting future investment. Panelists will also discuss where the Charlotte region is best positioned to compete and what needs to happen next to strengthen its life sciences ecosystem.
