NYSTAR’s mission is to assist in the advancement of New York State’s innovation economy. NYSTAR works on programs to leverage public and private partnerships for the development and commercialization of new technologies and products. NYSTAR also supports efforts to ensure a skilled workforce and generate excitement about science and technology throughout New York State.

NYSTAR’s combination of new and existing programs advances its mission in wide-ranging ways.

The newest program is the BioNY website www.BioNY.org, created in 2010 to be a one-stop shop for information on New York’s growing life science industry. This site is designed to provide information on what biotech companies, research centers, and individual researchers are doing across the state. The site also includes a list of life science related patents received by university researchers, a list of related events taking place across the state and a place to post relevant articles and reports. Funding opportunities will also be posted. The site will make it easier for companies to find collaborators to grow their businesses and to help researchers find the right companies to partner with to commercialize the new products and technologies they are developing. BioNY can also be a valuable tool in attracting new companies and researchers to the State.
