A group of business, academic and labor organizations have announced the formation of a coalition that will advocate for the biopharmaceutical industry in Massachusetts.
The group will be called the We Work For Massachusetts Coalition. It will be part of a national group, We Work For Health, which is active in 11 other states.
Three Central Massachusetts organizations have joined the Massachusetts group: the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce and Worcester-based Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives.
Kevin O’Sullivan, president and CEO of Massachusetts Biomedical, said the formation of the coalition “is an important effort that will showcase the vital work the bioscience and technology sector does here. We are home to a thriving bioscience industry, first-class research institutions and a strong workforce.”
