The package will create jobs, support business growth, expand workforce development programs and support rural and regional economic development initiatives.

This new authorization sends a strong signal to the rest of the world that Massachusetts remains deeply committed to the industry our state pioneered. The medical device industry is a critical piece of the Massachusetts economy. MassMEDIC’s 450 employers are located across the Commonwealth, employing more than 30,000 people from advanced manufacturing technicians, to engineers, to research doctors. Massachusetts leads the country in total exports of medical devices and is a top three US state in every metric of success and innovation. While states like California are losing good paying medtech jobs, Massachusetts is growing. Most importantly, our medtech sector is discovering, commercializing, and brining to consumers less invasive, and more effective devices to treat and manage diseases and chronic conditions. Together, our leaders in Massachusetts have committed to growing a stronger medtech industry. I applaud their commitment to expanding economic opportunity for people in all parts of the state and look forward to working with our government partners to execute this strategy.”
