State Officials Ask Biotechs to Expand Beyond Kendall Square

MARLBOROUGH — It’s not just about Kendall Square anymore.

Baker administration officials are seeking to broaden the geographic reach of the state’s biotech and medical technology sectors by strengthening existing clusters along Route 495 and elsewhere, Massachusetts Life Sciences Center chief executive Travis McCready said Monday.

“We want to make sure the industry outside Boston and Cambridge continues to grow in a much more intentional and robust way,” McCready told more than 75 industry executives and local leaders gathered at the home office of Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. here. “We’re not competing against Silicon Valley with just Boston and Cambridge.”
