Nucleus is a powerful engine for Louisville's economic development.

Combining the region's higher education and business resources with cutting-edge research, Nucleus will help transform Louisville into a hub for innovation and development.

As we focus on taking Louisville's economy to a higher level, we have strengths on which to build, including a business cluster where we already clearly excel -- in lifelong wellness and aging care. Louisville has more corporate headquarters of companies in this cluster than any other city in the U.S., employing more than 175,000 people nationwide. The key investment of resources and research at Nucleus -- including the establishment of the International Center for Long Term Care Innovation -- will help support and maximize the lifelong wellness and aging care sector, attracting further investment, companies and jobs to Louisville.

From breakthrough pharmaceutical discoveries to innovative technology development, Nucleus is earning an international reputation and helping establish Louisville on the global radar.

The Nucleus staff is ready and able to assist existing and potential tenants with taking entrepreneurial risk, and moving research from the mind to the marketplace. Already, Nucleus tenants have received more than $5 million in commercialization grants.

The combination of resources with a robust entrepreneurial spirit is what makes Nucleus an exciting and effective force that will help drive economic growth in Louisville and the region.

I hope you will visit Nucleus, and see all that Louisville has to offer.

Sincerely,

Greg Fischer
Mayor of Louisville Metro
Chairman, Nucleus Board of Directors
