New Hampshire’s housing shortage is one of the most urgent challenges facing our communities, businesses, and workforce today. As the biofabrication industry continues to grow in ReGen Valley, meeting the demand for a skilled and diverse workforce will require access to housing at all price points. Without it, that growth is at risk. 

On May 12, join regional business and industry leaders, municipal officials, and decision-makers at UNH Manchester for a dynamic half-day Housing Summit focused on turning conversation into action. The goal is to identify practical, collaborative solutions to expand housing opportunities across ReGen Valley region and beyond.   

This program is  presented by the ReGen Valley Tech Hub, in collaboration with New Hampshire Housing and the Greater Manchester Chamber.  

Featured speakers include: 

• - Dr. Jennifer MacDonald, Chief Operating Officer, Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) 
• - Jay Ruais, Mayor, City of Manchester 
• - Lucy Lange, Commissioner, NH Business & Economic Affairs 
• - Rob Dapice, Executive Director & CEO, NH Housing  

Through engaging panel discussions, attendees will:  

• - Hear from the biofabrication businesses that are based right here in the Millyard, including Safi Biotherapeutics, Advanced Solutions Life Science and Pro Therapeutics. 

• - Learn from municipal and state leaders about challenges and progress in expanding housing development.  

• - Leave with a deeper understanding of the workforce needs for biofabrication businesses, what’s working in the housing battle and new connections to help drive meaningful progress.
