  1. The Challenge of Ohio Bioscience Industry Growth & Workforce Needs Bill Tacon, Ph.D. Senior Director, Workforce & Education Butler Tech, January 9, 2012

  2. Bioscience is an Important Sector of Ohio’s Economy – and it’s GROWING

  3. BioOhio • Founded in 1987 as the Edison BioTechnology Center, BioOhio is a non-profit organization designed to build and accelerate bioscience industry, research, and education in Ohio • Rebranded in 2007 as BioOhio • Headquartered in Columbus, with affiliates around the state

  4. BioOhio’s Focus Industry growth, Resource optimization, Community building Company & Capital Formation Company Attraction & Expansion Association Function Workforce Development

  5. Bioscience Subsectors Agricultural Feedstock & Chemicals Research, Testing, & Medical Laboratories Medical Devices & Equipment Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Hospitals Make Products Provide Services

  6. Growing Interest in Biosciences The potential of bioscience technologies to improve the quality of life and generate economic development has gained greater recognition in the United States. Especially so in Ohio! Many states have put in place initiatives to improve the economic and regulatory climate for bioscience companies.

  7. Leading Market Drivers Over Next 5 Years • Aging population both in the US and globally in developed countries • Health care reform in the US • Urbanization and increasing health care access and demand in emerging countries (rise of the middle class and ability to pay) • Generics • Industry restructuring in the US, overseas expansions • Consumer demand, medical products go OTC

  8. Leading Technology Drivers Over Next 5 Years • Biologics growing in importance • According to EvaluatePharma, by 2014 the top six best-selling drugs and seven of the top ten will be biotech products • Rise of Personalized Medicine • Building upon advances in genomics and informatics • Now frontier is proteomics and metabolics  biomarkers (diagnostics) • Rise of Regenerative Medicine • Building upon advances in stem cell biology • Key enabler for tissue engineering, cell therapies and orthobiologics • Convergence with IT and Nanotech • Nanotech key for molecular imaging , drug delivery, point-of-care testing and sensors • IT essential for data mining for genomics-related advances, remote monitoring via wireless digital devices and electronic health records

  9. Ohio Strength/Growth Areas • Preclinical Research – 5 global companies • Clinical Research – leveraging hospital network • Medical device R&D • Manufacturing • Imaging • Comprehensive R&D with emphasis on Cardiovascular, cancer, personalized medicine • Bio-Ag • Integration of IT with all

  10. By-The-Numbers, then & now

  11. Bioscience Employment in Ohio

  12. Bioscience in Ohio’s Six Regions The bioscience industry is not confined to one or two areas of the state. It has become a vital economic engine in each region, with bioscience-related companies found in 72 of 88 Ohio counties.

  13. In 2009, the total employment in Ohio’s bioscience sector was 62,533, a small decrease of 388 jobs since 2008. From 2000-2009, bioscience employment increased by 10,222 jobs (19.5%). The overall growth in the bioscience sector is especially promising given that overall Ohio employment decreased by 465,000 since 2000.

  14. Economic Impact of Bioscience in Ohio Employment Impact 195,835 jobs Output Impact $61.642 billion Value-added Impact $15.208 billion Labor Income Impact $7.691 billion Tax Revenues $3.242 billion The economic impact of the bioscience sector and its five subsectors is measured for Ohio and each of the six geographical regions in terms of employment, output, value added, labor income, and taxes. Impact values above include direct, indirect and induced impacts. 2010 GR p.7

  15. Bioscience Wages are Tops! U.S. Average Annual Wages Drugs & Pharmaceuticals $79,303 Finance & Insurance $69,889 Total Biosciences $65,775 Research, Testing, & Medical Labs $65,414 Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services $62,411 Information $60,530 Medical Devices & Equipment $56,449 Manufacturing $47,705 Construction $40,297 Transportation & Warehousing $38,758 Real Estate $37,167 Healthcare Services $36,606 Retail $24,337

  16. Employment Needs: Educational Credentials • You don’t need an advanced degree to work in the Biosciences! • High School Diploma • Two Year Degree • Four Year Degree • Advanced Degree • …………… All are fine!

  17. Education & Industry; it’s all about PARTNERSHIP

  18. Partnerships at Work! • Greater Cincinnati Bioscience Consortium • Bioscience Consortium of NE Ohio • Bioscience Consortium of NW Ohio • Eastland Fairfield Career & Technical Schools • Ohio Bioworkforce Training Partnership

  19. Leadership: Mike McDaniel, Dave Baldwin and team Region: NE Ohio, Columbus to Cleveland Education/Economic Development partnership PLTW-based biotech, Adult bioscience certificate, Bioscience “College Now” Key industry: WIL Research and others Bioscience Consortium of NE Ohio

  20. Bioscience Consortium of NW Ohio • Leadership: Debbie Heban and team • Region: NW Ohio, Greater Toledo and Bowling Green • Education/Economic Development partnership • PLTW-biotech, Bioscience certificate • Key industry: NAMSA, LexaMed, The Andersons and others

  21. Eastland Fairfield Career & Technical Schools • Leadership: Kelly Lewis & Tresa Durkin • Region: Central Ohio • Education focus • Tech Prep-biotech • Key industry: Battelle, Scotts, Cardinal Health, Abbott Nutrition, BI-Roxane, Regional hospitals and more

  22. Manufacturing – A Talent shortage problem • Bio-manufacturing showing continued growth • Companies moving to and expanding in Ohio • All have problems in recruiting a skilled workforce at all levels • Our emphasis has been to build a strong community college bioscience infrastructure to provide entry level development & manufacturing workforce • Other states have done similar with great success

  23. Ohio Bioworkforce Training Partnership • 3 year program, funded through US-DOL • Awarded $5 million • Started March 1, 2010 • Objective is to train 700 unemployed, displaced and underemployed workers, and find them jobs within Ohio’s bioscience industry. Special emphasis on displaced autoworkers • Applicants can select from a range of training programs depending on interests and aptitude • More than half of the award, $2.8 million kept for tuition reimbursement / scholarships

  24. Program Partners • BioOhio • Six Community College Partners • Council for Adult & Experiential Learning (CAEL) • AFL-CIO / UAW • Ohio’s One Stop Centers • Ohio Department of Development • Regional Industry Advisory Boards • Help develop and approve curriculum • In several cases they are also instructors
