Every community has their strengths. In ICR, we have several long-established industries that have flourished over the past decades. These industries largely developed around our natural resources and access to research and talent at the University of Iowa. Our newest sector is medical technology, a small but growing collection of startups that are leveraging the innovation at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to develop everything from integrated DNA to retinol scans that can detect disease.
