Twenty years ago, the Animal Health Corridor was just an idea—a bold vision to connect talent, ideas, and opportunity in one of the most vital industries in the world.
Today, it is a global movement.
We’ve helped bring 85 companies to the Kansas City region. We’ve partnered with more than 600 innovators from 30 countries. We’ve added 4,500 new jobs, $405 million in payroll, and over $4 billion in capital investment.
Twenty years of innovation. Twenty years of growth. Twenty years of shaping the future of animal health together.
But we’re not here to focus on the past. We’re here to build the future.
At the 2025 Animal Health Summit, we launched the Animal Health Corridor Workforce Campaign, a rallying cry for the next generation of our industry.
Because here’s the truth: animal health faces a growing talent gap. There’s a new generation full of passion, skill, and purpose who just don’t know we’re looking for them.
It’s time we changed the narrative.
Most people hear “animal health” and picture a veterinarian. And yes, veterinarians are vital. But our industry is so much more.
Animal health needs microbiologists and AI developers. It needs engineers, marketers, coders, and storytellers. It needs data analysts, technicians, and strategists. It needs people from every background who care about impact, purpose, and innovation.
Animal health takes all kinds.
So how do we reach them? How do we spark their curiosity and help them see a future here?
That’s where you come in.
Whether you’re a global enterprise or a startup founder, a scientist or a service provider, you have a role to play. We’ve built a powerful, ready-to-use campaign designed with the industry’s voice in mind, including outreach materials, videos, graphics, messaging templates, classroom-ready content, and more. It’s all waiting for you at ExploreAHCareers.com.
But more than tools, we need your voice.
Start a conversation with your team. Talk to a local school. Reach out to your alma mater. Tell someone, “This industry needs someone exactly like you.”
Because that single moment of encouragement? It could change a life.
And thousands of moments like that? They will transform our industry.
This is our moment to lead with unity, clarity, and heart.
Let’s make animal health impossible to overlook.
So don’t just be inspired. Take action.
