Biotech and medtech folks networked in Millyard Museum

MANCHESTER, NH – Over 100 people networked at an event organized by the BioTech/MedTech cluster of the New Hampshire High Tech Council in the Millyard Museum on August 16. Committee chair Cindy Conde greeted them, voicing her encouragement of the sector’s growth in New Hampshire.

Museum Executive Director John Clayton introduced Conde and provided a tour of the historical museum. “Once home to the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, the largest textile mill in the world, Manchester is reinventing itself as the world leader in biomedical engineering,” said Clayton.

The event was underwritten by Bernstein Shur Law, Lavallee Brensinger Architects, and Sunrise Labs.

The group’s mission is to, “Further strengthen New Hampshire’s tech sector and advance NH’s bio-tech/med-tech leadership position – focused specifically in the biotechnology, pharma, medical devices and general health technology arena – by providing industry relevant services, programs and support to NH’s ever-growing ecosystem of patient health-centric companies. NH is part of an extraordinary, world leading life sciences ecosystem – not just as a border state to Massachusetts (the nucleus of our New England regional ecosystem) – but also as a significant contributor with several companies and institutions providing life-changing and life-saving services, treatments, drugs, medical devices, research, innovation, and advanced health technologies.”
