We\u2019ve been impressed by the amazing growth of life sciences innovation in the M2D2 ecosystem. Every single medtech and biotech startup has its sights set on competing in the global market, so we\u2019re very pleased to make our knowledge and expertise available to the young companies in Lowell and Worcester.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt our incubator, we\u2019re committed to giving life sciences startups what they need to advance their ideas and be successful in the marketplace,\u201d said Mary Ann Picard, M2D2 Director of Operations. \u201cThat can mean lab space, equipment, or, in the case of RQMIS, highly specialized insights that scientists require but typically don\u2019t have easy access to. Barry has already held office hours sessions at our Canal Street center and we\u2019re all looking forward to the continued presence of RQMIS as a Platinum Sponsor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rqmis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn more about RQMIS.
