Life Science Report Released by Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Makes Key Recommendations for Capitalizing on Hamilton's Strengths

 

On January 29, 2014, the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce released a report titled "Building a Life Sciences Cluster: A Case for Hamilton," outlining how the city's future prosperity depends on its ability to extract greater commercial development from its current strengths.

 

The report documents Hamilton's broad strengths and assets in life sciences, and looks at other regions around the world that have become economic powerhouses by successfully creating industry clusters. 

 

The report is a culmination of over a year of work spearheaded by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce and with considerable effort and input from key industry stakeholders. All are committed to championing this initiative and are committed in 2014 to advance the report's recommendations.
