Greenville-based Life Science Company Receives $200,000
Summerville, S.C. –SCRA’s entrepreneurial program, SC Launch, Inc., recently finalized an investment for SterAssure Solutions, based in Greenville, SC. The company was accepted into the SC Launch program as a Client Company in 2015.
SterAssure has developed a patented technology that provides an environmentally safe solution for the disposal of medical waste generated from healthcare facilities.
