  2. National Environment for Innovation and Life Sciences in Mexico Overall national innovation landscape Overview of life sciences capacity for regions throughout Mexico Overview of Regional Innovation Technology Clusters throughout Texas Capacity to link and leverage assets, institutions, and resources Advanced Manufacturing among 6 sectors analyzed Background on New Economy Strategies

  3. Innovation Call-to-Action (1998 and 2005):U.S. Council on Competitiveness National Innovation Initiative ‘The nation that fosters an infrastructure of linkages among and between firms, universities and government gains competitive advantage through quicker information diffusion and product deployment’ US Council on Competitiveness 1998 “We believe the United States’ economic and political standing are fundamentally bound up in our capacity as a society to innovate. We believe companies [and regions] that do not embrace innovation as a core business value will fall to global competition – and that innovation in universities and government is crucial to unleash America’s national innovative capacity.” INNOVATE AMERICA, National Innovation Initiative Council on Competitiveness, July 2004

  4. Education

  5. Workforce

  6. Will the U.S. Remain Competitive?

  7. Employment in technology industries and activities continues to concentrate in Computer Technology, Biotechnology, R&D, and Engineering services.

  8. Salaries are growing in every major high-tech industry. The most mature industries continue to command the highest salaries.

  9. The United States now produces fewer engineers than either Europe or Asia.

Successful nations, states, and regions working within and across academia, government, and industry, transfers knowledge and expertise while ensuring effective implementation of initiatives that require close collaboration and coordination among these parties. Academia INNOVATION EXCELLENCE A Tennessee Innovation Strategy Government Industry IMPACT

  19. “It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin

  20. 23 The Innovation Imperative Innovation is the most important factor in determining the success of any nation in the 21st century. It will: • drive economic growth; • create high value jobs; • improve the quality of life of all citizens • help meet social challenges (healthcare, energy, security) The ability to innovate is a great competitive advantage and is at the heart of Mexico’s transformation from a maquiladora economy to a knowledge economy

  21. National Landscape – Government Infrastructure Federal agencies have been working together since October 1999 to address issues of bio-safety and genetically modified organisms Ministries involved in the development of life science policy in Mexico • SAGARPA (Secretaria de Agricultura, Ganaderia, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentacion - Ministry of Agriculture, Cattle-raising, Rural Development, Fishing, and Foodstuff) • SEMARNAT (Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales - Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources) • SSA (Secretaria de Salud - Ministry of Health) • SHCP (Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico - Ministry of Finance) • SE (Secretaria de Economia - Ministry of Economy) • SEP (Secretaria de Educacion Public - Ministry of Education) Programs for life sciences development • CONACyT (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia - National Council for Science and Technology) • FUNSALUD (Fundación Mexicana para la Salud - Mexican Health Foundation) Source: STAT-USA, 2003; Industry Canada, 2003

  22. National Landscape – Intellectual Property Mexico created an intellectual property institute in 1993 to protect innovation, however over 90% of the patents granted in Mexico are owned by foreign countries The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial or IMPI) was created in 1993 as a decentralized agency of the federal government. Source: Presentation by Torres & De Hoyos Koloffon, Monterrey, 2005 As of 2000, IMPI granted patent protection to biotechnology related inventions as follows: Source: STAT-USA, 2003; Industry Canada, 2003

  23. American Patents in IMPI Patents issued by IMPI: • Procter & Gamble Company 285 • Kimberly Clark 105 • Pfizer Inc. 68 • E.I. Du Pont de NEmourse and Co. 59 • Motorola Inc. 48 • Exxon Chemical Patents 20 • Westinghouse Air Brake Co. 26 • Minnesota Mining Co. 45

  24. IMPI International • First place in Latin America, Africa and some countries in Asia; • 11th place worldwide (regarding patent and trademark applications) • Cooperation Activities and Sharing Information: US PTO, Japan, Russia, EPO, China, Korea, Germany, Austrialia, Spain, France, etc. • International Activities (related to IPRs): APEC, WIPO, PCT, WTO, TRIPS, FTAA

  25. International Collaborations • Basic research collaborations among key institutions • The universities and the research institutions have strong collaborations with institutions in the United States. Many collaborations are with institutions in San Diego, Phoenix-Tempe, Albuquerque, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Texas; but collaborations occur all over the United States as well as in Canada and Spain. • Health Services collaborations are becoming the fastest scenarios • Health services collaborations are also strong with the border states between Mexico and the US • Nuevo Leon recently created Council on Specialized Medical Services with representation from 40 hospitals in the state. The council is expected to improve collaborations locally, which in turn will attract international collaborations focused primarily on the US as well as Latin America. • Networks of Mexican nationals • Graduate training in Mexico requires 1 semester abroad which provides researchers with the opportunity to work in collaboration with foreign institutions. • As many as 25% of graduates are recruited to work outside of Mexico (usually in the US) and they have become a significant asset for networking with foreign institutions. Take Away Points Many research and technology collaborations already exist between Mexico and the United States, in part due to the close proximity of border states, and the networks of Mexican nationals at US institutions are an untapped opportunity for further strengthening.

  26. Commercialization & Industry Base • Limited history of commercialization in Mexico • There are very few local growth firms but significant global companies • GE Medical is the leading example of a large life sciences company located in the Monterrey region. The company manufactures medical imaging equipment. This company is increasingly feeling pressure to lower production costs in order to compete with emerging regions such as China. • Increased recognition Mexico needs to build local capacity and attract international community • The state governments have recognized the need to build capacity in the technology-sciences and have launched several initiatives to promote collaboration, industry attraction and commercialization Take Away Points Commercialization and a local industry base is still emerging, however there is strong support from the federal, states and within certain communities for the development of innovation sectors.

  27. Local Infrastructure • Mexico City is home to the majority of federal research institutions and funding bodies • The National Institutes of Health are concentrated in the Mexico City region (D.F. and Morelos) attracting significant research funding from federal resources • CINVESTAV, an independent academic research and post-graduate training institute, has two research centers in Mexico City with several others across the country • Federal funding agencies, government departments, and other non-governmental organizations are all located in Mexico City • Strong research universities also have a presence in both Mexico City and Cueranavaca • There are 5 major universities in the Mexico City region, 3 of which have strong research programs in the life sciences. They include: Instituto Nacional Politecnico (INP), Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana (UAM), and Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) • UNAM hosts the majority of sciences research infrastructure • Timely access to required equipment is a challenge for most institutions • Despite significant infrastructure assets, access to new equipment and materials is often delayed due to lengthy negotiations for dispersements granted from funding agencies and long wait times for imported goods through customs Take Away Points Infrastructure in the regions supports a core national strength in basic sciences research, however there does not seem to be any immediate plan to expand this infrastructure base through the acquisition of key equipment and underlying information technologies (broadband)

  28. Where are the assets, the infrastructure and the eco-system best organized for success in Advanced Manufacturing?

  29. What Industries Make Up the Texas Advanced Manufacturing and Technologies Cluster? Automotive and Related Transportation Logistics and Distribution Electronics for Other Commercial Purposes Computer Hardware and Components Polymers, Advanced Materials, and New Plastics Advanced Manufacturing & Technologies R&D Firms and Universities Software Development and Packaging Robotics, RFID and Similar Tools Related Service Firms Complementary Firms
