  5. Catalan scientific production Catalonia has traditionally been strong in biomedicine and life sciences, with extensive scientific production Jordi Camí 1, 2, Eduard Suñén1 i Raül Isaac Méndez-Vásquez1 Institut Municipal d’Investigació Mèdica (IMIM)1 i Universitat Pompeu Fabra2 , Barcelona. Estudio realizado a petición del CIRIT, abril 2004 a partir de bases de datos ISI. Documentos citables

  6. Critical factors for biocluster development • Strong science base • Entrepreneurial culture • Growing company base • Ability to attract key staff • Skilled workforce • Availability of finance • Premises and infrastructure • Business support services and large companies in related industries • Effective networks • Supportive policy environment Biotechnology Clusters; Lord Sainsbury, Science Minister UK, 1999

  7. - Abat Oliva University Good quality Higher Ed & Research facilities • 12 Universities • 30 advanced research centres • 13 science parks: 3 biomedical, 3 agro-food • Synchrotron Light Source • This new laboratory will be operative at the end of 2008, with 125 people providing services to more than 150 research groups and to nearly 750 researchers. It will be of use to the scientific community of southern Europe • Supercomputer Center (Mare Nostrum) • Fourth supercomputer of the world. It started its activity at the beginning of this year (2005)

  8. Ability to attract key staff • ICREA program • Aim: to attract high level researchers (overseas) • 4th year running: 100 senior researchers • 70% are from abroad • 2004 > 500 applications for 25 senior research positions • ICREA biggest percentage: biomedical sciences (31%)

  9. Catalonia BioCluster: Key facts Entrepreneurial character • 2 international business schools (IESE, ESADE) • Network of technological springboards(entrepreneurial centers linked to main universities and business schools; spin-off incubation) Innovative national industry • 46% of the pharmaceutical companies in Spain are located in Catalonia, accounting for 60% of the production • Strong chemistry sector (fine chemistry, green chemistry) • 38% of Spanish medical devices companies • 40 biotech companies, 20 of them as core sector

  10. World biotech companies Ernst & Young, 2003

  11. Vision The existence and enhancing of a biomed and biotech based business activity of international reference in Catalonia, with a clear impact on the generation of added value and more and better welfare Catalonia BioCluster During 2004, the Catalan Government together with public and private bodies involved in the sector established a work team to develop a preliminary project for the Catalonia BioCluster

  12. Supportive policy environment A. Castells C. Solà J. Bargalló M. Geli JM Rañé M. Economy M. Research Prime Minister M. Health M. Occup & Industry Public presentation of starting organization of the Catalan Biocluster 17th November 2004

  13. Priority research lines • To foster all areas of science and technology, and in particular, to foster fundamental research while applying criteria of quality and excellence • Biomedicine and the health sciences • ICT engineering • Agro-alimentary sciences and technology • Social and cultural development • Sustainable development and the environment. • Cross-disciplinary area: nanoscience & nanotech
