There are key factors driving energy for the launch of Idaho's most powerful enterprise zone yet - The CORE in Meridian, Idaho: As this image shows, open, developable land, newly completed flex space for technology and health sciences innovation at Pinebridge in the heart of THE CORE, and the presence of more than 43 active health and technology enterprises are creating a fusion driving growth in Meridian.

THE CORE: Vision, infrastructure + human capital

THE CORE is one of the Pacific Northwest’s leading health sciences, technology and business clusters. THE CORE is in the heart of Idaho’s fast-growing Treasure Valley, straddling three miles of Interstate 84 just 10 minutes from Boise’s major airport with direct flights to and from more than 15 major U.S. hubs. Here, the City of Meridian, Idaho State University and their energized partners in THE CORE are leveraging the fusion of health sciences, research and technology to drive innovation and sustainable economic growth. THE CORE is a vibrant ecosystem where entrepreneurs, educators, researchers and professionals collaborate and create.

The work of professionals in THE CORE will prepare a technically proficient workforce for the region’s fastest-growing industries, create synergies in disciplines as diverse as nano-technology and public health clinics, expose undergraduates and even high school students to advanced learning, and accelerate economic growth.

Clinical, research, development, commercial and manufacturing partners will create jobs that cannot be outsourced, will showcase technology assets and will deliver big benefits to the community.
