Surrounding the campus, NEST's prime New Jersey location along the Garden State Parkway – just 14 miles from NYC - offers an array of advantages for businesses in the biotech sector. New Jersey, renowned as the "Medicine Chest of the World," proudly holds the highest concentration of scientists and engineers per square mile within the United States and is home to major bio-pharmaceutical giants, such as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Meyer's Squibb, Pfizer, and, of course, Merck. The state offers a strong network of incubators, accelerators, and research parks, such as the New Jersey Bioscience Center and the New Jersey Innovation Institute.
