“Worcester has a once in a generation opportunity to establish itself as a global #BiomanufacturingHub. Located less than an hour west of #Boston, the region has become a magnet for top #talent, has #land available, can offer a #lowercost of doing business, and is home to a multitude of #highereducation and #hospital institutions to support the #industry. Massachusetts is the global leader in #biotechnology #researchanddevelopment. Now is the time to capture the emerging #biomanufacturing market in the Central part of the state.” – Jon Weaver, President & CEO, MBI. MBI has just released a Regional Biomanufacturing Strategy which calls upon the Commonwealth to designate #CentralMA as a #BiomanufacturingHub and outlines specific programs and strategies that will allow Central MA to successfully compete for this emerging #industry. Thank you to the Boston Business Journal for covering our release. Read the full release at: https://lnkd.in/eB9Wyi8D

Our #RegionalBiomanufacturingStrategy calls for #CentralMA to be designated as a #global #biomanufacturing hub - and we've got the stats to back it up! #Worcester county was the ONLY one in #Massachusetts to experience positive #jobgrowth in biomanufacturing - nearly 12%! MBI is proud to be working with the #companies that make this possible and we can't wait to see how our region grows! #WOOMENTUM!
Worcester County gained 279 biomanufacturing jobs between 2022 and 2023, despite a decline in jobs in the sector across all other counties in the state with a biomanufacturing presence. https://lnkd.in/edCUVsMG
Worcester County sees biomanufacturing job growth as Eastern Massachusetts sees decline

We were thrilled to welcome industry giants like AbbVie, Rentschler Biopharma, Lonza, and Takeda to the graduation of our 3-week Fundamentals of Biomanufacturing program. Our students seized the chance to interview with these esteemed companies, opening doors to exciting career opportunities. A heartfelt thanks to the recruiters, for their time and commitment. Through Massachusetts Life Sciences Center's Pathmaker program, the BETC continues to bridge the gap between education and industry, empowering students to take the next step in their biomanufacturing journey.

Released yesterday, MassBio's #IndustrySnapshot showed that #biotech is still strong in #MA and Worcester County was the ONLY county in the Commonwealth with #positive growth in #biomanufacturing jobs. Worcester is ready for this #industry and MBI is happy to be playing a part in it. "A growing effort is underway to establish #CentralMA as a global biomanufacturing hub. It has a more competitive #costofliving than Greater Boston, more #land available for the #development of #manufacturing plants, and a key advantage over southern states for #biotech companies." Thank you NBC Boston Stations for coming to MBI to hear our story! https://lnkd.in/gMbg5Hkd
