Shack III Clerk of the Senate William Welch Clerk of the House of Representatives Steven James By forward: House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means and the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies Date: September 30, 2015 Re: FY 2015 Annual Report of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) respectfully submits this Annual Report detailing the organization’s operations and accomplishments during Fiscal Year (FY) 2015. For the past seven years, the MLSC has led the state’s life sciences initiative – a $1 billion initiative designed to strengthen the state’s economy by accelerating the growth of our life sciences sectors in Massachusetts. The MLSC’s goal has been to make Massachusetts the strongest life sciences ecosystem in the world and the best place in the world for life sciences companies to do business. The MLSC collaborates with the private sector to accelerate the pace of innovation and economic development in all regions of Massachusetts. The MLSC’s strategy has been based on the belief that the best role for the state is to invest in Massachusetts’ innovation capacity – the ability to produce and commercialize a flow of innovative life sciences technologies over the long term. Since 2008, the MLSC has invested aggressively in five “enablers” that build innovation capacity: translational research, entrepreneurship, workforce development, infrastructure and collaboration.
