New York Metro Life Sciences
In June, 2022, the NYC Department of City Planning and New York City Economic Development Corporation together with regional leaders, released a report showing that the NY Metro is leading the country on jobs and funding in the life sciences industry. The report compares the NY Metro region to other metro areas across the country, to understand the full scale and strength of the region’s life sciences ecosystem, demonstrating the region leads the nation in multiple metrics including jobs, talent, and NIH funding. The region is a life sciences powerhouse with more than a dozen connected innovation hubs stretching from New Haven to Princeton, and Long Island to the Lower Hudson Valley—all with New York City at its core.
Builds Bio+, NYCEDC and the Department of City Planning were amongst the first to promote this message through collaborative programming. The NY Metro Builds Bio+ 2021 Life Science Symposium showcased the Tri-State public and private investments driving the exponential growth. From January, 2022 to September 2022, Builds Bio+ took an in-depth look at these innovation hubs in a series of webinars. The series can be found here.
