LifeSciKY, an NKY life science incubator, is inviting local life science start-ups and entrepreneurs to apply for a subsidized lab space at their facility.
Chosen applicants will receive a fully-funded lab bench at the LifeSciKY facility, which will be located in the OneNKY Center in Covington, as well as a full co-working membership at the SparkHaus, both of which are set to open in the fall.
The lab space is funded by money raised from a special single-barrel bourbon release from New Riff Distilling, as well as a matching donation from Blue North. The SparkHaus membership is sponsored by St. Elizabeth Healthcare.
“This is a testament to the power of collaboration, community and support that makes Northern Kentucky an ideal environment for the next generation of innovators,” said Dr. Christin Godale, executive director LifeSciKY, in a press release. “This lab bench sponsorship is an incredible opportunity for early-stage entrepreneurs looking to take the next step on their journey and we encourage interested applicants to apply early.”
Applications will be accepted through Aug. 31. A panel of representatives from New Riff and Blue North will select the winners, which will be announced in September, just before LifeSciKY is set to open.
