Cluster Strategy Development Background
In 2005, to target its work in supporting the life sciences cluster, the Prosperity Partnership formed a Life Sciences Cluster Strategy Development Working Group tasked with identifying specific action initiatives to be implemented by 2010. A special thanks goes to the co-chairs of that working group:
Karen Hedine, President & CEO
