“Life sciences increase our understanding

  • f the nature of life…. but life sciences

have an even greater potential. They represent a platform for new industry in Norway and transition to a greener economy with new jobs, products and services for the benefit of society, particularly in the health sector,” Ole Petter Ottersen Rector, University of Oslo

The Oslo Life Science Cluster Challenge

  • Norway has made enormous progress in transforming itself into an

emerging innovation-driven economy

  • In the face of declining resource prices, an urgent agenda to

leverage latent strengths and areas of potential comparative advantage

  • By investing in innovation that leverages and extends cluster

strength, Oslo can chart a new path for economic development

  • The Oslo Life Sciences Initiative must leverage existing strengths,

integrate researchers, knowledge, students, new infrastructure, and convene the entire range of the Oslo ecosystem

  • But what kind of life sciences cluster should Oslo build?

Lessons from the MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (reap.mit.edu)

Mens et Manus:

  • Not simply an “ivory tower” perspective although

the work is based on a systematic framework and nearly 20 years of empirical research

  • Not simply “learning by doing” although we do

develop & run ecosystem programs => Interplay between thinking & doing

Clusters Are Everywhere

A cluster is a regional concentration of related industries connected through various types of linkages and spillovers and supporting institutions

Do Clusters Matter for IDE Ecosystems?

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Do Clusters Matter?

  • Cluster theory suggests agglomeration arises

across related economic units (Porter, 1990, 1998, 2003)

  • Our Approach: If clusters matter, then the growth of an

industry in a region will be increasing in the strength of the regional cluster within which that industry operates

  • Cluster-driven agglomeration could arise in

different channels:

– Across related industries Within a Cluster, – Across Related Clusters – Across the Same Cluster in Neighboring Regions

Note: Average Region-Industry Annualized Employment Growth over 1990-2005. Region (EA) and Industry (4-digit SIC). N=55083. Cluster specialization variable is measured by Location Quotient. High means above the median of the variables.

INDUSTRY SPECIALIZATION Low High CLUSTER SPECIALIZATION Strength of Regional Clusters (presence of related industries) Low +13% 0% High +20% +1%

36

Clusters and Jobs

  • Industries within stronger clusters are associated with higher levels of job growth from

the early 1990s to the mid-2000s

  • We test the role of clusters by estimating region-industry employment growth over

1990-2005 as a function of the initial Industry Specialization and Cluster Specialization (outside the industry) in a region, and a set of region and industry fixed effects

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Clusters and the IDE Ecosystem

– Industries that are part of a strong cluster environment register

  • higher level, growth and sustainability of start-up activity
  • higher level and impact of innovation

Regional Value Proposition

What is the distinctive competitive position of a geographic area given its location, legacy, existing and potential strengths? Develop Unique Strengths What do we do that is different or that provides sustainable competitiveness in international markets? Achieve and Maintain Parity with Peers What weaknesses must be addressed to remove key constraints and achieve parity with peer locations?

A Move Towards Regional Economic Strategy

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Policy Improvement

  • Implementing best practice in

each policy area

  • A huge number of policy areas

matter

  • No region should try to make

progress in all areas simultaneously

  • Often divorced from private

sector concerns

A Regional Economic Strategy is Not Just “Good Policy”

Regional Economic Strategy

  • A prioritized agenda to create a

unique position, based on its particular circumstances

  • Collaborative effort of across

stakeholders

  • Leveraging regional strengths

through innovation and entrepreneurship

life sciences innovation Achieve and Maintain Parity with Peers Investing in traditional biosciences and drug development targets. Establishing a leading biocluster by the standard of traditional metrics

The Oslo Life Sciences Agenda Going Forward…

  • Public and Private Cooperation

to Nurture and Build Innovative and Entrepreneurial Capacity

  • Distinguish between policies

and initiatives focusing on SMEs versus IBEs

  • Balancing Traditional Life Science

Innovation with Areas of Unique Norwgian Strength (Ocean, Energy)

  • Investing to Create a Unique and

Distinct Oslo Life Sciences Cluster

  • Do not try to be a leader in all
  • areas. Instead, focus on areas of

latent comparative advantage and areas that leverage prior strengths

  • De-emphasize top-down policies.

The Oslo Life Sciences Cluster will succeed by engaging all IDE Stakeholders

  • Be patient. Establishing global

cluster leadership as the basis for a true knowledge-based economy is a long process.
