New Report Shows Life Sciences as a Major Economic and Innovation Engine for Georgia

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–According to a new industry report released by the Center for Global Health Innovation (The Center) and TEConomy Partners, a global leader in research and analysis, Georgia’s life sciences industry has experienced strong and steady employment growth in recent years, outpacing even the rapidly growing national industry in its private sector industrial components and exceeding 78,000 total jobs in 2021.

The report, which examines the growth and trends in our sector over the last five years, shows that since 2015, life sciences’ employment growth has surpassed Georgia’s overall private sector growth by more than two times, reinforcing the industry’s role as an important targeted cluster for state economic development, and its critical role as an economic and innovation engine for Georgia.

Key findings from the industry economic and impact analyses include the following:

“The high potential for the life sciences industry to enhance both the economic and physical wellbeing of all Georgians is a top reason the Center and Georgia Bio work hard to ensure the state’s educators and career development professionals can access the resources they need to ensure our workforce meets the needs of the fast growing, care-focused, high paying industry,” said Maria Thacker-Goethe, CEO of the Center.

The full 2022 Georgia Life Sciences State of the Industry Report is now fully public and can be viewed at GABIO.org. The state of the industry report is supported by funding from the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), Georgia Department of Economic Development, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Innovation Crescent, Johnson & Johnson, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber.

This new Georgia report comes a week after, a new national report released by BIO and CSBA with TEConomy finds the U.S. biotech industry is a major economic driver in all 50 states and explores why investment is booming. That full report can be viewed at BIO.org.
