GREENVILLE, SC, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Palmetto InnovaSphere and Main Street Labs (MSL) today announced a strategic partnership focused on supporting the growth of emerging biotech and life science companies in downtown Greenville. Developed by Hughes Development, Main Street Labs is designed to provide flexible laboratory and office space alongside shared infrastructure for early-stage and growing companies.

Through the partnership, InnovaSphere will serve as the strategic programming and operational partner for MSL.

This approach lowers barriers for startups, supports a broader range of companies, and strengthens collaboration within the facility.

As part of the collaboration, InnovaSphere will:
• Support tenant recruitment and onboarding
• Develop strategic programming and industry connections
• Manage shared laboratory operations and equipment access
• Drive engagement and connectivity within the facility
• Support tenant growth and visibility

“Main Street Labs is about creating opportunity, not just space,” said Bob Hughes. “InnovaSphere brings the expertise and network to activate the facility and support tenant success.”
