South Dakota's Biotech Boom: New Campus Opens
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a new eighty-acre campus, the University of South Dakota Discovery District, has opened its first building, marking a significant step for the states life science and biotechnology research industry. This initiative, nearly thirty years in the making, offers lab and office space for new and established companies. The district, a collaborative effort across South Dakota, aims to position the state as a leader in emerging technology. Despite challenges, such as lack of specific incentive programs and low rankings for business and academic research and development, the states unique qualities, like its strong agricultural sector and close ties to the Department of Defense, offer distinct opportunities. The district projects the creation of two thousand eight hundred new jobs in the biotech and life science industries over the next twenty-five years, potentially attracting more companies and service providers to the state.
