BIO International Convention
Welcome to the Bluegrass – you’ve hit the Trifecta. Trifecta Kentucky is a coalition led by Greater Louisville Inc.’s Health Enterprises Network, comprised of 25 counties within northern Kentucky, central Kentucky and Southern Indiana. It’s home to 2.2 million people and within a day’s drive of 2/3 of the U.S. population and it’s a region that offers highly competitive advantages within the logistics, life sciences, and pharmaceutical sectors.
For this region, the Trifecta is not just a term in Kentucky’s signature horse racing industry. Trifecta Kentucky is all about advantages in Lifestyle, Logistics, and Life sciences that make it the perfect place to do business.
The BIO International Convention is the world’s largest convening of the biotechnology industry with more than 1,500 exhibitor booths and 20,000 industry professionals in attendance.
This serves as an opportunity for Trifecta KY to network with the world’s leading companies, understand their operations (and needs), and better equip our region for growth in our three main assets – life sciences, logistics, and lifestyle.
The 2025 BIO International Convention was held in Boston from June 16 – June 19, 2025, and our team attended for the third year in a row.

Participants left the convention with more than 100 new economic development leads and introductions to follow up on for potential relocations and expansions. Aside from these hot leads, the biggest takeaway was that Greater Louisville has a lot to offer biotechnology companies, and the region is poised for continued growth in this space!
