This week, I had the opportunity to tour a vibrant innovation hub serving as an ecosystem to support entrepreneurs and startup companies in St. Louis, including by leveraging nationally ranked universities and bioscience expertise.    I met with Cortex Innovation District leaders to learn about their work making St. Louis a home for startups, R&D teams and corporations. I also toured BioSTL, a nonprofit that helps bioscience startups launch. I heard from a number of entrepreneurs who are building their companies and working on forward-looking solutions to important problems in human health and agriculture.    I saw a place where innovators get together, share ideas and make things happen.
