Northern Delaware Is Growing Its Own Life Sciences Industry Rather Than Waiting For Overflow From Philly
“I’m always surprised at how separate the Wilmington area is from the city and the Pennsylvania suburbs,” Buccini/Pollin Group co-President Chris Buccini told
Bisnow. “Especially considering how many people live in Philly and work in Delaware and vice versa, Wilmington always is considered very separate … It’s the funniest thing.”
What Northern Delaware does have is two reliable sources of talent and startup companies: The University of Delaware and DuPont, the leftover company from the 2017 merger of DuPont and Dow Chemical and subsequent spinoff into three separate entities. Just as the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia birthed the cell and gene therapy boom, Delaware’s own growth in life sciences resembles its major pillars.
