Scale Your Breakthroughs in a Hub Built to Last

Ranked among the top five life sciences markets in the U.S., the Greater Philadelphia region is recognized as a powerhouse biotech hub and the global leader of cell and gene therapy (CGT). This tri-state area is where the advanced therapeutics field began and where it continues to rapidly grow. Fueled by a deep talent pool, a commitment to R&D excellence, and 15 major health systems, Greater Philadelphia’s life sciences ecosystem birthed the world’s very first FDA-approved cell and gene therapy.

It’s no surprise that our region is a national leader in clinical trials and a magnet for industry giants. Biopharmaceutical leaders, including AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck, are among the 1,200 life sciences companies in Greater Philadelphia. For companies looking to position themselves at the center of this momentum, Greater Philadelphia offers robust infrastructure and a deep talent pool, featuring commercial rental rates significantly lower than those in New York, Boston, San Francisco, or San Diego.
