Medical News TodayWhat has been the most significant change in the life sciences industry as a result of the recession? The recession has hit our pocketbooks and those who would invest in us. As a result, raising funds is more difficult. In addition, the 2010 Kansas state budget has tremendous impact for entrepreneurs, which proposes to eliminate KTEC, the KTEC Pipeline and its equity investment program. This would greatly hinder the growth of small businesses in the state of Kansas. Ironically, it is the small businesses that will guide the economy out of this recession.
