State of the Art, 500,000 Square Foot Research Facility to House Advanced Therapeutics Cluster
The University of Massachusetts Boston Venture Development Center (VDC) just opened this past May in Dorchester. The 18,000 square foot facility provides companies access to offices and wet and dry labs as well as assistance in business development to shorten time from innovation to market.
VDC is accepting companies involved in active collaboration with University faculty that are willing to accept student internships. The facility has meeting spaces for the sharing of ideas and concepts. The incubator has four such meeting spaces that are able to accommodate from four to fifty individuals, as well as a large reception area.

Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI) was formed in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1985 as a private non-profit to accompany the Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park. MBI now manages three bioscience incubators in Worcester.

The three MBI Incubators are:
MBI Incubator at Barber Avenue
The Barber Avenue location provides space accommodations of all sizes to life science companies. The incubator currently has a number of client tenants.
MBI Incubator at Biotech Three
Located in the Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park this incubator provides space to life science companies close to the University of Massachusetts Medical School as well as the Massachusetts Stem Cell Bank and International Stem Cell Registry which were recently established with the support of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.
MBI Incubator at Gateway Park
The Gateway Park incubator is associated with Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The incubator is ideally positioned to spur the commercialization of WPI technology and allow incubated companies to expand into Gateway Park.

The Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park is cited by BioSpace.com as providing "nearly a million square feet of space." and includes a close proximity to local amenities. Gateway park is a recent redevelopment project headed by the Worcester Business Development Corporation.
