Since 1995, Richmond has hosted the Virginia BioTechnology Research Park, an incubator that specializes in everything from facilitating organ transplants to developing new pharmaceutical products to promoting engineering advances. The park has all the expertise it needs thanks to nearby academic institutions like the VCU Medical College of Virginia. But that alone does not guarantee success for its research efforts. The BioTechnology Park also relies on a myriad of supplies and raw materials, many of which are not available in the Commonwealth or even in the United States. As a result, businesses in this park and other parts of Richmond have to have their inputs shipped in, exposing them to the risks and delays of ground transport. AirFreight.com avoids these delays and risks by relying on air shipping instead.
