NJ Seeks Partner to Create Life Sciences/Healthcare IT Accelerator

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) has announced its search for a private partner to manage the launch of a Life Sciences/Healthcare IT Accelerator. According to yesterday’s EDA Press Release, New Jersey is looking for a business partner to oversee the Accelerator, whose goal is to use the region’s business acumen to engender innovation and entrepreneurship. This announcement follows the recent enactment of the New Jersey Angel Investor Tax Credit Act, an investment stimulus measure for high tech start ups that provides investment incentives for “angel investors.”
