NC State BTEC Revenue and Competitors

NC State BTEC (Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center) is a unique, cross-disciplinary instructional center that provides educational and training opportunities to develop skilled professionals for the biomanufacturing industry and create the best-trained, most industry-focused workforce possible. Founded to help establish, attract and expand biomanufacturing in North Carolina and thus drive innovation and job creation, NC State BTEC operates under the auspices of North Carolina State University's College of Engineering (COE). It operates two facilities on NC State University Centennial Campus: the 82,500-gross-square-foot main building and the 5,000-gross-square-foot BTEC Annex in the Keystone Science Center. The two facilities feature more than $12.5 million of industry-standard equipment and a simulated cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) pilot plant facility capable of producing biopharmaceutical products using cell growth and expression, recovery, and purification processes using aseptic practices. Undergraduates, graduate students, and working professionals come to NC State BTEC for hands-on learning with the latest biomanufacturing technologies. The organization also performs process development, scale-up, and equipment evaluation studies under a variety of contracts.
