The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are among the fastest growing and most research and development
intensive in the United States. The Massachusetts pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are widely
recognized as current and future mainstays of the New England economy. These industries will not only utilize
a number of affiliated markets which are certain to see aligned growth but they will also invariably spawn
entirely new opportunities in areas of product and service. Consulting, software development and design,
third-party manufacturing, medical devices, contract research, legal and marketing services are just a few
of the areas that will benefit.
