Christopher Wink explores this trend, highlighting how life sciences companies are not only lucrative but also have the potential to save lives, in his latest column. He notes, among other points, that the industry’s reliance on location-specific factors, such as expensive equipment and strict protocols, further enhances its significance in local economies.
