California is home to the largest concentration of life sciences organizations in the world. California’s nearly 3,000 life sciences companies directly employ 281,000 people and indirectly employ another 581,000—marking nearly one million people employed due to life sciences innovation by Californians. California’s life sciences companies’ revenues have topped $130 billion, with average wages over $108,000. With more than 1,200 new therapies in the development pipeline, California attracts more venture capital investment and NIH grants than any other state in the nation.  Investments in STEM education, exceptional workforce development initiatives, and a business climate that’s shining… the Golden State is where life sciences legacies are built.
