Technology. Talent. Access to capital. These key elements necessary for the success of any life science company are conveniently concentrated within the Chicago Technology Park (CTP) and the Illinois Medical District (IMD).

The CTP's dynamic community helps to fulfill its mission to assist in the growth of life science companies and to help life science businesses flourish.
