In a state offering world-renowned universities and research hospitals, it is no surprise that Massachusetts is a global leader in the life sciences industry, boasting one of the world's largest life sciences clusters attracting companies from around the world. Many businesses emerge from the scientific advancements developed in partnership with these institutions, but what assistance is available to help these businesses grow, both domestically and internationally? What types of funding are available and how can they be secured? What do business owners need to know when developing their workforce?  

Join us to learn about resources for growing your business while mitigating costly risk. Learn about determining financial viability, obtaining financing, and grant opportunities. Additional topics include controls on foreign access to U.S. technology with regard to hiring and investment, and diversifying into foreign markets.
