“This is the sector where things are happening in New Hampshire, and we are punching way above our weight. That is thanks not only to this organization, but to all the companies that make up this organization, from the small startups to the well-established players.”
- NH GOV. KELLY AYOTTE
“Here in New Hampshire, you are proving that leadership in life sciences doesn't depend on being in Silicon Valley or Cambridge. It depends on vision and the ability to connect universities, startups, investors and policy networks into resilient innovation community.”
- ANNA PUGLISI, biotechnology security analyst
“Prior to NHLS, we had life sciences companies in New Hampshire, but we didn't coordinate our efforts. NHLS has helped to bring us together into a network, and we've realized that we have a lot of common interests. We all benefit from growing the ecosystem.”
- KEVIN KERLS, executive site director for Lonza-Portsmouth
“Some of the things that I think about in terms of working with NHLS are the doors that it opens. So I try to make myself available to go to as many of these NHLS events as possible. You never know who you're going to meet, and you never know what value they can bring.”
- CONOR CULLINANE, CEO and co-founder of Pirouette Pharma
“One of the benefits of NHLS are the job boards and networking to convince people that New Hampshire is great and everybody should want to live here, regardless of what your job title is. You don't have to go down to Boston or New Jersey or the Research Triangle in North Carolina to have these high-caliber life science jobs.”
- MEREDITH ORBACZ, director of marketing for MadgeTech
“I've been following the development of (NHLS) as it was getting going, and it was interesting right from the beginning, because obviously, New Hampshire is growing in this whole field. The more that we can do to support that community being a local resource here, it's only good for us as well, and as far as benefits, we've met new potential customers and collaborators, I think, at just about every event.”
- PETER LEHNEN, president and lead designer, Lehnen Lab
“We see the opportunity that life sciences – whether it's biotech, biopharm, or something –brings to a local economy. We want to be part of that. We want to be part of making New Hampshire, very similar to what happened in North Carolina with the Research Triangle Park.”
- KYLE REAGAN, president of DECCO
“[Why New Hampshire?] Number one is having access to talent in the area; we're able to find, attract and retain the right talent. Two is access to transportation and access to Manchester and Logan airports; we're a global company. There's also the supply chain community. Then there's a vibrant life sciences ecosystem here, not just in New Hampshire, but in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, so that you can find those other services you need. And then the last part, I'd be remiss if I didn't answer, is taxes.”
- KEVIN KELLY, CEO of Resonetics
“It is clear to me, as part of the New Hampshire Life Sciences community, that we're collaborating with other organizations and partnering to build out a bigger ecosystem, not only of talent, but of innovation. That's a huge differentiator from other large markets, where they’re competing against each other. Here, there's this real sense of community, not only in what we're doing for our patients, but also how we're bringing more talent to the region.”
- HEATHER CLARK, Global HR and Talent Leader, Novocure
