Convening events like this and serving as a resource to new companies is a simple way to support the economic development efforts of the state,” said Sargent.
“MassEcon and its Ambassadors want to say ‘thank you’ to these companies for locating in Massachusetts,” said Susan Houston, Executive Director of MassEcon. “Connecting their senior executives with contacts from the state, academia, and other industries tells these companies that there is a community ready to support their growth.”
“Massachusetts has a proud tradition of innovation, a talented workforce and a competitive business climate,” said Secretary Bialecki. “These diverse and thriving companies recognize the advantages of doing business here, and we look forward to partnering with them to generate the job growth and private investment that are key to building a better, stronger Commonwealth.”
“Our new laboratory and the future cGMP facility being developed in Worcester represent a critical component of Nemucore's strategy to facilitate the development of a quality system to manufacture nanomedicine products in compliance with FDA guidelines, and to speed the translation from the academic laboratory to clinical investigation. We are committed to growing Nemucore in Worcester, and contributing to the creation of a robust biotechnology workforce in Massachusetts” said Dr. Tim Coleman, NMI President and CEO.
