Boston
Why Boston?
- Boston and its state of Massachusetts, with just under 7 million inhabitants, is without question one of the super hubs of knowledge and innovation.
- Massachusetts is the 6th largest exporter of pharmaceutical products among the states ($5 billion in 2022), and it imports $2 billion. It is also one of the industry’s most important research and development centers.
- Boston stands out in the life science and clean/green tech verticals; last year alone it invested 3.6 billion dollars in health-sector projects.
- Some of Boston’s innovation centers are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Harvard Innovation Labs, MassChallenge, the Cambridge Innovation Center and Greentown Labs.
- Panama is currently seeking to advance its strategy as a pharmaceutical hub and, at the same time, to enter the semiconductor value chain.
- The countries that make up the Alliance for Development in Democracy (ADD) — Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador — are the state’s 4th largest export destination, after Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.
