→ French phar­ma Ipsen is go­ing to be play­ing host to a cowork­ing fa­cil­i­ty in Boston. Just weeks af­ter an­nounc­ing it was mov­ing its US head­quar­ters from New Jer­sey to Boston, Ipsen an­nounced Thurs­day that its shiny new HQ will have shared “in­no­va­tion” space. The phar­ma is team­ing up with Bi­o­Labs, a net­work of biotech cowork­ing spaces that has lo­ca­tions all over the coun­try.

The shared lab­o­ra­to­ry space, called the Ipsen In­no­va­tion Cen­ter – Bi­o­Labs, will span 15,000 square-feet. It will in­clude of­fice and lab­o­ra­to­ry space to sup­port en­tre­pre­neurs and star­tups. Ipsen is pro­vid­ing the space and some ed­u­ca­tion­al pro­grams, men­tor­ing and of­fice hours with Ipsen R&D teams, while Bi­o­Labs is man­ag­ing the op­er­a­tions. The space will open the first quar­ter of 2019, with Bi­o­Labs ac­cept­ing ap­pli­ca­tions for oc­cu­pan­cy in the com­ing months.
