The ReGen Valley Consortium, led by Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), was designated as a Tech Hub by the U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s Economic Development Administration (EDA) in 2023. The funding award will help accelerate Southern New Hampshire\u2019s growth into a global epicenter for the production and distribution of regenerative cells, tissues and organs and help further bolster the nation\u2019s economic and national security. Shaheen and Pappas joined U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves in Manchester for the announcement.\n\n\u201cReGen Valley Tech Hub firmly places Manchester and New Hampshire as a leader in biofabrication,\u201d said Congressman Pappas. \u201cI supported the CHIPS and Science Act, which established the Tech Hubs program, and this award will further help recruit and retain a biofabrication workforce as well as increase awareness and adoption of regenerative therapies. Thanks to the dedication of the partners and stakeholders in this effort, ReGen Valley Tech Hub is doing state-of-the-art work that will save lives. I will continue to advocate for federal investments in biofabrication, innovation, and domestic manufacturing.\u201d\n\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement further proves Southern New Hampshire\u2019s enormous potential and how the region is poised not only to drive innovation in biofabrication, but to also emerge as a new industrial powerhouse and global competitor,\u201d said Senator Shaheen. \u201cThis award to ReGen Valley will enable the creation of more good jobs right here in New Hampshire, the development of the technology that will save lives and help bolster our STEM workforce pipeline. I thank Deputy Secretary Graves for joining me today in Manchester for this exciting announcement.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe ReGen Valley Tech Hub and ARMI are making New Hampshire an epicenter for biofabrication innovation and technology, forging critical advances for both our health care and our national security,\u201d said Senator Hassan. \u201cIn 2022, I worked to pass into law bipartisan legislation to strengthen our supply chains, lower costs, and build more manufacturing in the United States \u2013 and to make projects like the ReGen Valley Tech Hub a reality. With this latest round of federal funding, I look forward to seeing all that ReGen Valley and ARMI will continue to do to strengthen New Hampshire\u2019s workforce and make scientific and technological advances.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe pioneering work being undertaken by the ReGen Valley Consortium is driving medical innovation and the future of care,\u201d said Congresswoman Kuster. \u201cFrom investing in the future of our biofabrication workforce and creating good-paying jobs right here at home to leading advancements in regenerative medicine and therapies, this significant funding will help ensure New Hampshire remains a leader in developing transformative technologies for the region and our country.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe ReGen Valley Tech Hub awards builds on foundational investment by the U.S. Department of Defense. With this place-based funding, the vision to make ReGen Valley the epicenter of biofabrication is becoming real \u2013 manufacturing the cells, tissues, and organs that will transform healthcare and save lives across the country and around the world,\u201d said ARMI Executive Director Dean Kamen.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/nh-delegation-applauds-44-million-award-for-regen-valley-tech-hub"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7149390187114477, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
