Biomedical Technology Section

A fundamental objective of the North Shore Technology Council is to foster growth of technology-related business north of Boston. Today, biotechnology and medical devices are among the most exciting and promising sectors.

In 2005, the NSTC initiated a task force to identify the needs that the council is uniquely positioned to address for the biotechnology and medical devices sector. What emerged from this effort is the Biomedical Technology Section. While an integral part of the NSTC, it is developing exciting new programs with content specifically tailored to meet the special needs of this business community.
