Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development

The Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development (LPED) is a public-private collaboration focused on driving economic growth and talent attraction in Lincoln, Nebraska. While not a biotechnology company itself, LPED plays a critical role in fostering the region's life sciences ecosystem by supporting the Nebraska Innovation Campus and providing resources for startups and established firms in the healthcare and ag-tech sectors. The organization offers site selection services, workforce development programs, and entrepreneurial support to drive innovation. LPED serves as the primary point of contact for businesses looking to expand or relocate within the Lincoln metropolitan area. Through initiatives like LaunchLNK, the partnership provides grants and mentorship to early-stage companies, including those in the health-tech and drug manufacturing spaces.
