DISCOVERY STARTS HERE
GREATER PHILADELPHIA IS THE ORIGINAL HOME OF CELL AND GENE THERAPY. THIS IS WHERE THE FIELD STARTED TWO DECADES AGO, WAS NURTURED AND WHERE IT CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY GROW.
The 11-county neighborhood of Greater Philadelphia is home to more than 30 cell and gene therapy development companies and has seen an almost 500% increase in venture capital funding in the last 21 months (CBRE). These companies have raised more than $1 billion in investment capital and have created more than 3,000 jobs.
Greater Philadelphia is also taking the lead in connected health technologies that will improve patients’ lives. This leadership is seen through partnerships like Independence Blue Cross and Comcast’s joint-venture Quil, and organizations such as the Perelman School of Medicine Center for Digital Health; Christiana Care Carelink CareNow; HealthShare Exchange (HSX); and NextFab, home to connected health startups including Biomeme, TowerView, and RightAir.
