St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem got an overview of the Cortex Innovation District, a St. Louis innovation hub. The district serves as an ecosystem to support entrepreneurs and startup companies, including by leveraging nationally ranked universities and bioscience expertise.

At an Oct. 15 visit, Musalem met with Cortex leaders to learn about their work making St. Louis a home for startups, research and development teams, and corporations. He also toured BioSTL, a nonprofit that helps bioscience startups launch. He heard from a number of entrepreneurs who are building their companies and working on forward-looking solutions to important problems in human health and agriculture.
