Technological change happens gradually, then suddenly. So does opportunity.

Gradually, over the past decade, New Hampshire has been building the premier global hub for the emerging biofabrication and regenerative medicine industry. In other words: a new industry devoted to manufacturing cells, tissue, and organs that can revolutionize health care outcomes and quality of life for the better. And it’s happening right here.

Consider just a few of the 21 new companies from across the U.S. – including here in New Hampshire – that we heard from in the Manchester Millyard on Oct. 18 at the first ever Biofab Startup Lab Investors Summit, which was hosted by the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute, which Dean Kamen founded in 2017.
