June 2021:
MassEcon is presenting this video highlighting the unparalleled capacity to find, develop, design, build, and operate the best biopharma facilities anywhere in the world. Check out the most popular video at the BIO Digital 2021 Convention! MassEcon, with the support of BioMed Realty and Janitronics Building Services, developed this video to share with the industry that Massachusetts is not only leading in the development of new biotech facilities, there is room for much more growth in Massachusetts!
Here is a shorter version of the video.
December 2020:
Massachusetts has long been the epicenter of biopharma research and development. Years of investment and collaboration between industry, education, and government has provided biopharma manufacturers a rich and deep talent landscape in Massachusetts. Leaders in the biopharma industry and higher education discussed current talent development assets, shared initiatives to grow talent even further, and looked to the future as the industry continues its growth in Massachusetts. This virtual Forum, hosted in partnership by MassBio, MassEcon, Bowditch & Dewey, LLP, MassBioEd, and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, included an overview of current biopharma talent assets and how the pool of talent has grown in recent years, followed by an industry-higher education panel that shared case studies in collaboration and insights on what is on the horizon for new talent development.
