The Iowa Department of Economic Development mission is to improve the economic well-being of the State of Iowa by working with businesses and communities to strengthen their foundations for growth in the New Economy.
In 2003, the Department commissioned a study by the Battelle Memorial Institute to assist the department, the business community, and the state universities in determining the areas of university research that would provide opportunities for economic growth for Iowans. The resulting study emphasized the incredible promise for Iowa's dominance in plant, animal, and medical areas of bioscience and the economic potential of developing such research into goods and services.
The Biosciences Alliance of Iowa, representing science, industry, education, medicine, agriculture, economic development, and government, has been formed to steer the development of this economic potential.
