NCBIOTECH Company Directory ncbiotech.org/directory NC’s Life Science Transformation The 34 years of work by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center has proven to be transformative for the state – especially for its manufacturing workforce. As employment in the state’s furniture, textile and tobacco factories tumbled over the past three decades, the number of people working in pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing has grown from a few dozen to about 21,000 today. And pharmaceutical manufacturing is just one important segment of North Carolina’s transformational life science community. It doesn’t include the thousands of people in high-tech agriculture, or medical device commercialization, or contract research and development – a life science ecosystem totaling 63,000-plus workers at more than 700 companies statewide. The annual NCBiotech Company Directory print edition aggregates information on these 700+ companies, while the online version includes nearly 2,300 supporting companies such as patent law firms specializing in life science work. They bring the direct and indirect life science workforce total to 260,000.
