Management Perspective: Bill Fleming, Growth Advisors
What’s Behind the Region’s Growing Life Sciences Industry?
Recently Mark Mills, host of WBIX’s Market Wrap program, talked with Bill Fleming, Managing Partner of Growth Advisors about the region’s Life Sciences industry on Emerging Business, produced by Growth Advisors and airing and streaming each Wednesday at approximately 4:50 pm and 6:45 pm. Here’s an excerpt of that discussion.
Mark: It seems that the life sciences industry is growing more rapidly and may some day surpass high tech and financial services business in this area.
Bill: In terms of employment growth and investment, you are correct. There have been a lot of jobs added and a lot of investment from the venture community. And, the larger public companies are bringing a lot of dollars and people into Massachusetts. As a case in point, the large pharmaceutical companies are falling all over themselves to open up facilities and add people in Cambridge and Boston.
