"The most innovative square mile on the planet is your lunch spot."

  • Kendall Square (next to MIT): birthplace of Biogen (1978; new 580k sq ft HQ for 2028) and globally recognized as the most innovative square mile on Earth.
  • MA holds 17% of the US drug-development pipeline and ~9% of all NIH funding (8 local biopharma IPOs in 1H 2026); #3 US metro for VC deal value ($14.95B) and #2 for capital intensity.
  • Why it matters: Experts in sensing, materials, optics, and manufacturing—and deep-tech investors—are next door.

4. Where America Began
