Driving Economic Growth and Opportunity in North Carolina
The biopharmaceutical industry supports millions of jobs and generates significant economic growth in communities across America.
In North Carolina the state’s economy was largely dependent on manufacturing that eventually moved overseas.
The government and industry leaders came up with a bold solution to bring economic output back to the state: the Research Triangle. Today, there are over 800 life sciences companies employing 70,000 people.
Our industry continues to invest in the region, providing high-paying jobs, building state-of-the-art facilities and developing the next generation of treatments and cures.
Our impact goes beyond the lab – we’re bringing broader economic opportunity to the entire community, from the people who build and maintain the facilities to those who provide food for our employees, and so much more.
The biopharmaceutical industry is committed to reinvesting in communities like North Carolina’s Research Triangle, supporting workforce training programs, partnering with local colleges and fostering the next generation of talent.
