  1. Biosciences Talent Required Northwest Piedmont Workforce Development Board Russ H. Read

  2. Retraining Can Happen for Anyone! Scientist CEO

  3. Biotechnology’s Potential “Vast and Imaginative” • Food & agriculture • Industrial • Medicine • Environment • Information • Fuels It’s a Bladder! Made in Forsyth County Our BT Graduates Helped!

  4. Building the Future • Traditional Segments- Agricultural, Industrial, Environmental Medical and Health • New Interface bio/nonbio segments-overlapping spheres of emerging technologies • Academic & Medical Research infrastructures- magnets for bioscience companies • Home grown industry needs- capital, educated manpower & an efficient, effective business environment

  5. BIOTECH EXPANSION Market Factors Heal, Fuel, Feed the World!

  6. Bioscience Segments Research & Testing Leading Segment

  7. Global Biotechnology $ Market BillionsPast, Present & Future Market Grew +8%

  8. Size of US Biosciences Industry Growth in Talent and Companies 1.42 M BT Jobs = 6.5 M Support Jobs

  9. Geography Employment occurs inall 50States BUT North Carolina ranks 3rd in BT employment AND we have PLAN in place to GROW

  10. Market Issues • Technology- Invent, Research & Develop • Capital- Invest, Divest & Reinvest • Talent- Recruit, Transform & Groom

  11. Technology Invent, Research & Develop • R&D investment of $65.2B in new medicines • 2,900 medicines in development- examples Pipeline of Hope & Opportunity

  12. Capital Invest, Divest & Reinvest • 356 companies are public • 44 companies have a market cap over a $1B • Capital is tight • Companies are conserving cash, hibernating “B” projects Well capitalized Companies are on the Hunt for Products and Talent Excerpts from Burrill

  15. Workforce Segments North Carolina growth has outpaced ROA by factor of 3 X

  16. Biosciences Jobs Wages Bioscience jobs on average out pay private sector jobs by 1.7 X

  17. Systems Approach • Summer enrichment programs for middle and high school students • Articulations from high school to 2 year colleges • Community College Regional Partnerships 1+1 • Internships for all levels ( H.S., college/4 year and post. grad.) • US DOL approved Biotechnology Apprenticeships • Seamless articulations from 2 year schools to 4 year schools 2+2 • Reverse articulations • Distance learning hybrids- More Simulations & Gaming • Short(120 hours) non-credit programs for technical operators

  18. Demand-Driven Process Know Local Resources 21 initiatives strategic plan www.triadbiotech.com
