New Jersey is on the leading edge of
the New Economy. It is one of the top states in the
nation when it comes to the number of patents granted,
fast-growth firms, and venture capital investment. There
are 116 biotech companies in New Jersey, making it the
fourth-largest biotech center in the country. That
number continues to grow as cutting-edge companies
relocate to the state or emerge from state-funded
incubators or university-based programs. |
