Today's #TechHub Tuesday is all about the many reasons why the Richmond-Petersburg region is ideal for an advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing (APM) Tech Hub!
A big one is our location -- we are situated between existing biotechnology centers in Rockville, MD and Research Triangle Park, NC, the Region is less than an hour from the most technologically advanced port on the east coast, the Port of Virginia, which operates the Richmond Marine Terminal. Our location boasts sophisticated supply chain infrastructure that includes key transit intersection points with the convergence of I-64, I-95, and I-85, includes Richmond International Airport’s cargo facilities, and a Digital Port for the United States, with three high-capacity, low-latency intercontinental subsea cables coming in and through the Region.
We're also close to a big chunk of the U.S. population. See the stats from our members at @VEDP on why the Richmond-Petersburg region is so important for our #industry and #economy.
