Massachusetts is a leading biotechnology cluster due in large part to its unique cooperation between industry, government, and academia.  MassBio and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center collaborate in ensuring a strong life sciences ecosystem, making Massachusetts an obvious choice for life sciences companies to grow and thrive.  In addition to the existing life sciences industry, international companies are locating in Massachusetts due to its strong and vibrant ecosystem of top universities, academic medical centers, and research institutes, as well as record breaking venture capital, a robust talent pipeline, and a supportive state government.

 

Massachusetts leads the nation in the number of biotech R&D employees and has a growing biomanufacturing sector as well.  The number internationally-headquartered companies with operations in Massachusetts continues to grow, and with it the strength of the local ecosystem increases as well, further solidifying Massachusetts’ reputation as the top life sciences cluster in the world.
