Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, proudly announced its role as a founding sponsor of the newly launched LifeSciKY Covington Life Science Incubator, a 15,000-square-foot nonprofit facility dedicated to advancing biotech innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional economic growth.

The state-of-the-art incubator will provide affordable laboratory space, advanced scientific equipment, and vital resources to support early-stage life science companies across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.

The grand opening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local and state leaders including Covington Mayor Ron Washington, Senator Chris McDaniel, Judge Kris Knochelmann, and William Butler, who joined Thermo Fisher executives in celebrating this milestone for the region’s life sciences community.

“It is an honour to be part of this extraordinary initiative that strengthens the region’s position as a rising hub for biotech,” said [Thermo Fisher spokesperson]. “Our commitment to LifeSciKY reflects Thermo Fisher’s mission to empower scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators to accelerate discovery and bring life-changing breakthroughs to patients faster.”

With the launch of this incubator, Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati are poised to further establish themselves as a dynamic centre for biotechnology, fostering collaboration between academic institutions, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders.

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s support underscores its ongoing dedication to enabling scientific progress and building ecosystems where innovation can thrive.
