With over 100,000 people located within a 6.5 square mile area, Cambridge is a unique community with a strong mix of cultural, demographic and social diversity, intellectual vitality and technological innovation. Home to world-renowned educational institutions, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge has also emerged over the years as a major hub for leading biotech companies. Today, it is one of the world’s most important centers for biotech research, not only because it is a great place to live, work and enjoy a diverse array of cultural activities, but also because it has access to an unmatched pool of talent and a wealth of institutional resources.
