About the Event

After record years in 2020 and 2021, growth of the U.S. life sciences industry has returned to a more normal pace in 2023. Demand for lab/R&D space remains well above pre-pandemic levels. Life sciences employment reached a record high at the start of 2023, although the rate of growth slowed.  The state of the life science capital markets coupled with continued inflation and the uncertainties generated by recent banking failures have all had an impact on the state of the life science market. Nevertheless, the long-term outlook for life sciences is still healthy, marked by a strong focus on health and wellness, new therapies and advancements in technology.

This meeting examined the state of the market and future prospects, highlighting how companies are managing through a changing and uncertain time.
