When I say that research is one of Massachusetts biggest job creators, I'm not just talking about the ones in labs.

I'm talking about jobs in construction, hospitality, restaurants and retail. That's what the DRIVE Initiative is all about.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Research and discovery drive our economy – and my DRIVE initiative will keep Massachusetts moving forward at full speed.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Investing in scientific research means new jobs, new businesses, and new revolutions for Massachusetts to lead.

At a moment of uncertainty in Washington, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

We’re going to lead.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

For every dollar invested in scientific research, Massachusetts sees double the economic benefit.

New jobs.
New businesses.
New cures and discoveries.

That's what the DRIVE Initiative is all about. Investing in discovery is good for the world — and it’s a good deal.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Once again, Massachusetts schools are top of their class! 🍎

We've got the brightest minds, the highest test scores and some of the safest schools in America. Massachusetts has always led on education — and I'll make sure it stays that way.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Literacy lays the groundwork for a lifetime of learning. If Massachusetts wants to stay #1 in education, we need to be #1 in literacy, too! 📚

I just signed a bill that puts $26 million toward high-dosage tutoring. This fall, we'll partner with schools to deliver it at no cost.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Massachusetts is America’s most improved state for business — and we’re getting better every day.

While Donald Trump raises prices, cuts research funding and takes away food and health care, we’re lowering costs, creating jobs and growing our economy.

Congratulations to Dr. Filipa Lynce (@FilipaLynce) recipient of the Women’s Health Collaboration Award
from the @MALifeSciences! This award supports collaborative projects that aim to improve the discovery, technical innovation, and analysis of datasets to answer pressing life science questions around Women’s Health.

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

Massachusetts is the place where big ideas enter the economy and shape the future. It’s no wonder we’re the global epicenter of the industry creating the next lifesaving cures and treatments! 🧬

Had a great discussion with @KendalleOC and @takeda’s Julie Kim at #BIO2025! Always glad to have the partnership of Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Two years ago at @IamBiotech, I said it was my priority to re-up the Life Science Initiative — not just for 5 years, but for another decade of discovery.

At #BIO2025, I was happy to report that we got it done. Honored to be named Governor of the Year.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

#BIO2025 is the world’s biggest biotech convention, bringing together 20,000 industry leaders and innovators changing how we live, heal and care.

And it’s back in Massachusetts — the global hub of life changing biotechnology 🧬

[Flagship Pioneering @FlagshipPioneer]

"... the companies, the innovation, the scientists, the team members who are part of this incredible ecosystem, it makes me so optimistic about the future... and how these technologies and inventions are going to change people's lives all around the world."

It was a pleasure to host @MassGovernor Maura Healey as she announced a new round of tax incentive awards to strengthen the Massachusetts life sciences sector and for a tour of #FlagshipFounded @LilaSciences to discuss how we're pioneering scientific superintelligence.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

There’s a reason Massachusetts leads in life sciences. Top schools, companies, and talent — all connected by policies that drive discovery and grow our economy. 

At @LilaSciences, we announced a major investment through @MALifeSciences in companies creating 1.5K jobs statewide.

[Massachusetts Life Sciences Center @MALifeSciences]

Our partners in education work together with reliable, enthusiastic support from industry & government. As @MassEducation Secretary Patrick Tutwiler relays, education remains our calling card. The @BIOConvention is in MA and so is your why.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

The @LEGO_Group had a lot of options for their new Americas Hub, but it’s no surprise they chose Massachusetts.

We’re #1 in innovation, #1 in education, we have top talent and we believe in the power of play. Excited to build a new partnership — brick by brick! 🧱

[Alnylam Pharmaceuticals @Alnylam]

We were honored to host the @MALifeSciences team, including CEO Dr. Kirk Taylor, at our Norton, MA #manufacturing facility. They learned how we make #RNAiTherapeutics and we discussed #WorkforceDevelopment, public/private partnerships and growing the MA #lifesciences ecosystem.

For the second year in a row, more students in Massachusetts are scoring a 3 or higher on their AP exams than in any other state! 🎓

This school year, @MassEducation committed $1.25 million to help students pay exam fees and get a head start on college and a career.
