Esteemed Global R&D Institute, Battelle, Joins NEMIC as 11th Corporate Member
Providence, RI - With pride, NEMIC announces the esteemed global R&D Institute, Battelle, as its 11th corporate member. With a shared vision to create a safer, healthier world, this addition to NEMIC’s Corporate Membership cohort marks a notable step in delivering their mission of transforming healthcare--in this case, through collaborative innovation and strategic mentorship.
Battelle is a global research and development organization committed to delivering solutions to the world's most pressing challenges through limitless innovation. Founded on 90 years of technological innovation across multiple disciplines and domains, Battelle brings a wealth of expertise in healthcare, life sciences, and medical device development.
As a corporate member, Battelle will collaborate closely with NEMIC’s portfolio companies, providing mentorship, technical consulting, and insight into real-world application of scientific innovations. This partnership is expected to create new opportunities for joint initiatives and accelerate the development and deployment of life-changing medical technologies.
NEMIC launched its Corporate Membership program in 2023 with the vision of bolstering the entrepreneurial and life sciences ecosystems in Rhode Island by procuring a suite of member corporations that support innovation. Since that time, there has been much momentum in the sector, with the establishment of the Rhode Island Life Science Hub (RILSH), as well as the ongoing deployment of various State grants aimed at fueling innovation.
“We are focused on building a significant and relevant network of service providers and domain experts as we grow the startup community,” says Aidan Petrie, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of NEMIC. “This has proven highly attractive to out-of-state startups, who are now working with and growing the overall ecosystem. The same has proven true of our well-established Corporate Member cohort. Investors, in turn, benefit from an increasingly deep professional pool that covers the bases for development and commercialization expertise.”
As NEMIC continues to expand its influence as a catalyst for healthcare innovation in New England and beyond, so does the multidisciplinary ecosystem required to incubate the pipeline necessary to drive such evolution. Having a Corporate Member with a storied past across a host of sectors and applications makes for a formidable and welcomed addition to the region’s arsenal in battling the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
