Biomanufacturing has emerged as an area of promise for economic development in Massachusetts. With support from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) and working with the Life Sciences Collaborative’s Biomanufacturing Task Force, IPC researchers are studying the locational dynamics of the biomanufacturing sector. The Center, in collaboration with MTC, is also hosting the Biomanufacturing Roundtable, whose participants, drawn from many of the leading biomanufacturing firms in Massachusetts, are developing recommendations on how to strengthen the state’s biomanufacturing capabilities.
