In 2021, Massachusetts biotech companies received $13.66 billion in venture capital funding. Combined with a successful IPO market in past years, our industry has the capital on-hand for significant growth. At the same time, companies are facing on-going hiring challenges at all levels but especially for experienced talent. This panel of experts from industry and academia will explore what Massachusetts needs to do both short- and longer-term to address the workforce gap so we can continue as the State of Possible for industry and for patients.
