Babylon Health - Former Head of US Growth

“If I'm sitting in the UK and I want to access the U.S. health care system, St. Louis and the GHIS is a very logical place to start. St. Louis is centrally located, and has 8 percent of total U.S. health care spend. The GHIS is a curated process so the companies you meet are interested in the solutions you have. It’s a really good investment of your time.”

“The number of meetings GlobalSTL curated for us in the last 24 to 48 hours is probably equivalent to 6 months of work, in terms of the people, the levels, and quality. We are exploring a second hub outside of Boston, and are seriously considering St. Louis. We see this as a very powerful location for us and an influential one as well. ”

Coala Life CEO

“St. Louis has been an enormous entry point to us in the U.S. We have our first customers there. I also feel like St. Louis has some similarities with Stockholm where the key to succeeding is by working together with academia, industry and researchers. If you can combine those three things together to create an ecosystem, that’s a huge opportunity for us. St. Louis has that powerhouse to make that happen.”
