Medicon Valley or Massachusetts?
Join Science Forum 2013 – free for MVA members
Where would you like to work in the future? Medicon Valley, Massachusetts or Mumbai?
If Medicon Valley is to succeed in global competition with more than 250 other life science clusters, it is crucial that we create world class research environments and attract the very best professionals on the global market. Otherwise the most competitive companies are likely to leave Medicon Valley.
At Life Science Forum 2013 companies, universities and politicians will debate how Medicon Valley can win the battle for global talent, competing against regions such as Boston, Oxford-Cambridge, Beijing and Singapore.
