It’s undeniable that the state of Massachusetts is a tech hub with a particular expertise in life sciences and biotechnology.
For one, the area boasts an exceptional talent pool thanks to the educational institutions housed in this part of the East Coast.
Harvard, MIT, Boston University and Tufts are renowned universities on a national and international level and play a large hand in training thousands of future life science specialists and making significant contributions to the field through the research programs and academic spinouts from senior academics.
In addition to these prestigious universities, the life sciences sector is further bolstered by the high commercial activity. The metropolitan area of Boston within the state of Massachusetts houses over 1,000 biotech companies that run the gamut from dynamic startups to global multinationals including Biogen, Moderna and Takeda.
Given the above, it’s no surprise that the area has helped to deliver a stream of breakthrough innovations and represents one of the top US clusters for life sciences. Not only does this critical mass of activity lead to important breakthroughs for the field, but also makes major contributions to the overall economic health of the country, with employment levels in the state outpacing the national growth rate.
As ever with such tech hubs, networking plays an important role in the overall progress of innovation. Conferences and events help to ensure new collaborations can get off the ground, help founders to find important inroads with industry giants, and connect the brightest minds with best opportunities.
On Tuesday, October 15th, Prezent is set to host an exclusive happy hour in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to support the life sciences and pharmaceutical community in meeting new faces, exploring collaborations and discussing the latest industry trends.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Prezent’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships Vikram Venugopal; Director of Sales, Jack Collins; Customer Success Managers Michelle Williams and Michaela Foti; plus Client Partners Jake Quinn and Haley Damele.
