Moderna Chooses Madbit to Launch its First Laboratory in Spain
Moderna considers Spain to be a key market due to its access to talent, business environment, and the quality of infrastructure, as well as the government’s support policies for innovation in the biotechnology sector. In February 2022, Moderna announced a long-term collaboration to increase manufacturing capacity at Rovi’s Madrid facility.
