Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI)’s Post

“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!

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
