Boston Biotech Seizes the Momentum
Summary
This ongoing story was the theme for our event last week, titled “Boston Biotech Seizes the Momentum.” We put together a series of interviews with a diverse group of biotech leaders who had different perspectives on what’s happened, and how this clustering effect positions Boston for the future.On the positive side, there are so many smart people that most everybody said they have access to plenty of talent they need to achieve their business or research goals.I also heard complaints about Kendall Square’s glaring lack of a drugstore and a grocery store, but I suspect that’s just a matter of time.We had a full house for this event, and a great spirit in the room that celebrated some of what Boston has achieved while recognizing the areas in which it can still improve.Special thanks go out to Biogen Idec, which hosted the event, and to Keith Spiro of Kendall Press, who snapped great photos of the action on stage and off.
