  3. Innovation Drives Economic Growth • Technological innovation has been linked to three-quartersof the United States growth rate. • Two-thirds of UK private-sector productivity growth between 2000 and 2007 was a result of innovation. • 90 percent of the variation in the growth of income per worker across countries is attributable to innovation. • The societal rates of return to R&D are at least twice the estimated private returns. 3

  4. BioTech City Kick off

  5. What is BiotechCity BiotechCityis a .. • Registered non-governmental social society with a scientific background • A youth think thank that takes leaping steps towards a public/youth science and technology parkin Egypt Our goal is to enhance scientific research in Egypt generally and bio-based researches specially. In addition to a number of other goals that are basically trying to find solutions to problems currently facing Egypt.

  6. What is BioTech City • As young scientists we are sure that the progress and flourish of our country depends on a strong R&D base and we must use that base to develop our own products and solutions to problems facing our society. • In order to do that we need a highly capable minds and skilled hands but above all we need scientists who believe that we will are really going achieve something. Simply, our goal is to provide the right creative and stimulating environment for anyone who has the desire and passion to work on their own idea and dream. For more information please contact us at : info@biotech-city.com or visit our website: www.Biotech-City.com

  7. Our Vision • Set the corner stone for building a youth public science park • suitable and inspiring environment for scientists and especially the biotechnologists. • implanting the concept of “Investing In Science” to the Egyptian Stock holders, Business men • increase public awareness concerning the benefits of scientific research and its requirements as well. • Help building a national R&D base vision and strategy

  8. Our Goals • Encourage research-based partnerships between governmental sectors and private sectors, thus helping in the development and the commercialization science. • Introducing to the private sector the necessity of having an advanced infrastructure, equipment and facilities that help in the nourishment of the R&D Encourage the knowledge-based projects by providing the required facilities, • The establishment of highly qualified and well equipped training centers and research labs. • Help in production of world-class Publications • Initiate large scale applied research scientific projects • Provide a suitable environment in which scientists could work. • Provide the tools required for having qualified researchers. • Integration of science and innovation in the Egyptian industrial sector. • integrate the scientific research in the Egyptian development plans. • Encourage the investment in modern educational tools and scientific projects.

  9. Strategy

  10. Current Stage – Phase 1 • Organizing innovative Workshops , Courses , Conferences , Exhibitions and Symposia. • Providing Scholarships , Study tours, Trainings and visits to international laboratories, institutes, science parks and factories as well. • creating the link between researchers or inventors and the suitable companies that could commercialize and publicize for the products and ideas. • Organizing individual and group competitions that in which the participants could know how to start small project and work for its sustainability. • Organizing scientific activities, projects and various sessions as well, targeting the undergraduate university students as well as the school student; • Increase the public awareness concerning patency and copy rights

  11. Current Stage – Phase 1 • Making brain storming sessions with business men in order to find out what kinds of products they will be interested in invest in. • Presenting science and technology based inventions to them • Inviting business men to scientific activities in order to show who applied research benefit their business • Drag investments into research units and projects. • Encourage businessmen to form research incubators and R&D facilities in order to solve industrial problems that face their business and to open new business opportunities to them.

  12. Our Activities For more information please contact us at : info@biotech-city.com or visit our website: www.Biotech-City.com

  13. The first International Biotechnology Innovation Conference (IBIC-Egypt) • In 2009, we started introducing the concept of having a Biotechnology Science Park - which is an oriented research based facilities - in Egypt by adding a simulation of the Science Parks to our conference the first International Biotechnology Innovation Conference (IBIC-Egypt 2010) held in November 2010 at Cairo University, and the conference recommendations stated the importance of having a Science Park in Egypt and how it can reflect on our country economy. • In other words, initiating a Bridge between Science and Business, and a non – profit organization is the most excellent mean to build this Bridge.
