NEW: PHILADELPHIA DESIGNATED AS A REGIONAL TECH HUB THANKS TO BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Monday, the Biden-Harris Administration announced that Pennsylvania — along with 31 other sites nationally — will become a national Innovation and Technology Hub through the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration. The Greater Philadelphia Region Precision Medicine Tech Hub, led by the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA, will make a major investment in new biotechnology and other medical technologies to deliver new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat disease.

“There’s no doubt about it: President Biden is doubling down on his commitment to Pennsylvania workers and the Pennsylvania economy with the Biden Administration’s investment in the Philadelphia region,” said Mayra Macías, Executive Director of Building Back Together. “The Greater Philadelphia Region Precision Medicine Tech Hub is a major investment in the technology and health infrastructure we need to grow our economy for decades to become a global leader in precision medicine.”

Here’s what Pennsylvania’s elected officials are saying about the Biden Administration’s Greater Philadelphia Region Precision Medicine Tech Hub:
