About

The CORE creates an environment for the powerful combination of pooled knowledge and technical capabilities that allow health and research-related businesses to be competitive in the marketplace.

The CORE is one of the Pacific Northwest’s leading health sciences, technology and business clusters. At the heart of Idaho’s quickly growing Treasure Valley, The CORE is working to improve the quality of life through sustainable economic growth.

The CORE and its partners are working to leverage the fusion of health sciences, research and technology to become the epicenter of health and research in the State of Idaho. The CORE is a vibrant ecosystem where entrepreneurs, educators, researchers and professionals are collaborating and developing strong roots in health and research.

The goal of The CORE is to prepare a technically proficient workforce for one of the nation’s fastest-growing industries, healthcare, as well as creating synergies in disciplines as diverse as nano-technology, animal health, and health related devices. Clinical, research, development, commercial, and manufacturing partners will create jobs that cannot be outsourced and will showcase the assets of the community and provide unrivaled benefits.

Straddling three miles of Interstate 84, just 10 minutes from the Boise Airport, The CORE is in the heart of Meridian - one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho - integrated with a significant amount of infrastructure, including: multiple exits onto Interstate 84; access to direct flights to and from over 15 major U.S. hubs; shovel-ready construction sites with full utilities right sized to the type of businesses The CORE is attempting to attract. This infrastructure places the world’s resources at The CORE’s fingertips.
