Active public subsidies and capital programs available for businesses operating in Massachusetts:
Life Sciences Tax Incentive Program

This program defines the Massachusetts economy. It offers a suite of tax incentives (Investment Tax Credit, FDA User Fee Credit, Jobs Credit) to bio firms. Crucially, many of these credits are 90% refundable—meaning if you are a pre-revenue startup with no tax bill, the state cuts you a check for cash.

Funded by employers themselves, the WTFP provides grants to train current and newly hired employees. The "General Program" allows for large-scale training initiatives (up to 2 years). The "Express Program" offers smaller, faster grants (up to $30k) for off-the-shelf courses for small businesses.
