“Thanks to our pro-jobs agenda, New Hampshire is the #1 state for business in New England, and I would like to congratulate the whole Novocure team on the groundbreaking for their latest expansion!”

 

“We thank Governor Sununu for his leadership and support, on behalf of our workforce and the thousands of patients we are able to serve around the world,” said Bill Doyle, Novocure’s Executive Chairman.

"It is an honor to host the Governor here today, and we look forward to completing the construction of our new flagship facility so we may continue to bring high-quality jobs to the community.”

“This achievement is a testament to your thorough work, your focus on building community among employees and your commitment to sharing your expertise and insights with physicians and partners from around the world.
