Life Sciences

Over the past decade, Massachusetts has become a global leader in the life sciences industry, breeding a barrage of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and stem-cell-based innovation. Company after company has been joining the “biotech stampede into Massachusetts,” and, currently, 17 of the top 20 biopharma leaders have a presence in the state.

Due to its own strong commitment to the industry and its central location along the Massachusetts “Innovation Corridor,” Marlborough has become a regional biotechnology hub and a leading incubator for mature life sciences companies. In 2013, the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council honored the city with its highest distinction—Platinum BioReady™ Community—putting Marlborough among the top biotech destinations in the state.

Today, the city is home to some of the largest and most-innovative life sciences and medical device companies in Massachusetts. Alongside the headquarters of Cytiva, Boston Scientific, Sunovion, and Hologic, some 30 companies make up Marlborough’s ever-expanding life sciences community. Life sciences companies are choosing Marlborough due to its ideal location near major teaching hospitals and R&D facilities, access to a highly educated and skilled talent pool, and availability of quality and affordable Class “A” office and lab space.
