Why Delaware

A Global Magnet for Innovation

Delaware has the nation’s deepest heritage of scientific innovation, dating back more than two centuries with the founding of the DuPont company on the banks of the Brandywine River. And the state sits in the center of the most dynamic region and talent market in the world for the life sciences.

Today the sector accounts for more than 11,000 jobs in our small state across pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, research and testing companies, medical device and equipment manufacturers, hospitals and academic institutions.
