Opportunity Zones - What Connecticut’s Bioscience Community Needs to Know
The Opportunity Zones program, an important new federal incentive to grow businesses through long-term investments in low-income communities, has become a hot topic in 2019.

- An overview of the program’s eligibility requirements, tax benefits, exemptions and compliance requirements
- Availability of Opportunity Fund investments for bioscience ventures
- Opportunity Fund investments compared to traditional investments
- How businesses in Opportunity Zones can access Opportunity Fund investments
