BioLabs Global (“BioLabs”) is a U.S.-based company that provides a platform of support and services including coworking facilities and wet lab infrastructure for science-based startup companies, programming and industry connections for early stage scientifically based start-ups.

Founded in 2009, BioLabs is a global innovation infrastructure company creating the physical and community backbone that powers life science discovery worldwide. Through a growing network of premium shared laboratories and coworking spaces, BioLabs provides turnkey access to state-of-the-art research facilities, entrepreneurial programming, and deep industry and capital connections. These integrated ecosystems enable innovators - from early-stage founders to established R&D teams - to rapidly translate ideas into impact without the constraints of traditional lab ownership. The BioLabs network now spans major innovation hubs across the United States, Europe, and Asia, serving as a catalyst for collaboration and a launchpad for breakthroughs that advance human health and sustainability.

In establishing its Japan office, JETRO’s Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) supported BioLabs by facilitating its participation in RBC Kyoto 2019, including pitch events, seminars, and business matching with pharmaceutical companies. IBSC also supported the conclusion of a memorandum of cooperation between BioLabs (U.S.) and the City of Kyoto and the Kyoto Research Park Foundation. In addition, IBSC has provided comprehensive support before and after market entry, including business matching, consultations on incorporation, tax, and labor matters, and the provision of relevant information.
