What We’re Building
Built here. Designed to scale.
ReGen Valley is a federally designated tech hub, based in Southern New Hampshire, for regenerative medicine manufacturing. Led by Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), it is an ecosystem-driven initiative that aligns consortium partners to build the infrastructure and workforce needed to turn regenerative technologies into therapies that reliably reach patients.
Everything regenerative medicine needs, operating in sync.
Mission
To accelerate the manufacturing of regenerative technologies by building a coordinated, place-based ecosystem rooted in Southern New Hampshire and built to serve patients everywhere.
Vision
A world where regenerative therapies are not limited by manufacturing complexity, where any breakthrough that works in a lab can reach the patients who need it.
What makes this different
Most innovation ecosystems stop at the discovery stage. ReGen Valley focuses on what happens after the science: the manufacturing infrastructure, the workforce, the regulatory readiness, and the clinical networks that turn a breakthrough into a therapy that actually reaches a patient.
What this really means for you — and your community
ReGen Valley is where innovation meets real-world impact. We bring together the people, partners, and resources needed to turn scientific breakthroughs into treatments that reach patients — while creating jobs, expanding opportunity, and strengthening our communities along the way.
This ecosystem is for
- Industry and companies ready to scale
- Researchers seeking manufacturing partners
- Workforce and students building careers in biomanufacturing
- Community members and organizations looking to engage, learn, and be part of what’s being built
- Patients and communities counting on what comes next

Pillars
Four operating principles. Shared with the homepage, designed in the homepage pass.
Why here is not an accident.
Southern New Hampshire doesn't look like a typical biotech cluster, and that's part of why it works.
What this region offers isn't just square footage or federal funding. It's a manufacturing culture built over generations: precision, reliability, and the kind of institutional follow-through that scaling complex therapies demands. When you're manufacturing something that will go into a human body, those qualities aren't nice to have. They're essential.
What this means for you: real jobs, real opportunities, and a region built to deliver.
Strength
What it means
Location and Connectivity
Situated in the heart of New England's research and clinical corridor, with access to major academic medical centers, established transport infrastructure, and proximity to a concentrated patient population.
Talent and Training Pathways
From high school programs and community college stackable credentials to university research partnerships. MCC, SNHU, UNH, Dartmouth, UMass Lowell, and partner institutions create connected entry points at every level.
Infrastructure Readiness
Lab, biomanufacturing, and enabling technology infrastructure anchored in the Millyard in Manchester and expanding through consortium investment.
Culture of Execution
A long history of turning ideas into products. When an industry takes root here, the benefits move through every corner of the community, into careers, households, and futures that a thriving economy makes possible.

One region. Distinct, aligned roles.
What this means for you: a clear path to the right partners, resources, and opportunities
ReGen Valley, ARMI, and BioFabUSA form the backbone of the region's regenerative manufacturing ecosystem. Understanding who does what helps partners, researchers, and companies find the right front door.
Each plays a distinct role, working together to move innovation from development to delivery.
| ReGen Valley | ARMI | BioFabUSA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role | Regional ecosystem orchestrator | Manufacturing R&D and technology development | Industry membership and standards body |
| Focus | Coordination, convening, workforce, manufacturing pathways | Biomanufacturing capabilities and processes | Industry adoption, standards, supply chain |
| Who it serves | Full ecosystem: industry, academia, workforce, community, patients | Researchers, manufacturers, technology developers | Industry members and commercial partners |
Together, these roles ensure that innovation is not only developed — but scaled and delivered.
Q: Is ReGen Valley an organization or an initiative?
ReGen Valley is a place-based initiative, a federally designated Tech Hub that coordinates the work of more than 60 consortium partners across Southern New Hampshire. It is not a single company or institution. It's the connective layer that helps the full ecosystem move toward shared goals.
Q: How is ReGen Valley related to ARMI and BioFabUSA?
ARMI and BioFabUSA are anchor members of the ReGen Valley consortium, contributing core capabilities in biomanufacturing, research, and industry development. ReGen Valley operates as the regional ecosystem layer, while ARMI and BioFabUSA focus on their respective missions.
Q: Who can participate and how?
The ecosystem is designed to include organizations and individuals across all sectors: industry, academia, workforce development, healthcare, civic organizations, community groups, and patients. Visit the Working Together page to explore how to connect.
Q: How are projects and events selected?
Projects and events featured on this site reflect work underway across the consortium. Inclusion is based on alignment with the hub's mission and milestones. For event submissions, visit the News and Events page.
Q: Where do updates and reporting highlights live?
The News and Events page is the hub for press coverage, regional milestones, member releases, and reporting highlights, updated on a regular cadence.
