Key Findings

RECENT TRENDS:

Strong Growth and Promise of Biosciences for LAC

  • Biosciences industry

emerging as key economic driver – Gaining Competitive Share – Key Local Economic Driver: – Sizable Base

  • Depth of research &

innovation base offers several key technology platforms for growth

  • But lack of venture

financing creating a “leaky bucket” for LAC capturing innovation

COMPETITIVENESS:

Despite promise, off pace of leading regions

  • Generally positive

trends for LAC, but lag leading regions in: – Industry growth – Research growth – Venture capital – Specialization of skills – Presence of commercial bioscience space

LOCATION:

Broad footprint with limited clustering

  • Widely distributed

footprint … No “Hollywood” for Biosciences in LAC

  • Immature bioscience real

estate market, with few if any specialized facilities

  • Lack of continuum of

space beyond modest incubators reflects lack of footing in LA

Specific Biosciences Development Challenges Identified in Los Angeles County Commercialization

  • Lack of locally-based early stage venture

capital

  • Inadequate entrepreneurial culture to

mentor and advance new biosciences start-ups

  • Result “Leaky Bucket” with many

promising new start-ups based on academic research leaving LAC

Bioscience Lab Space

  • No identifiable real estate market for

commercial bioscience lab space – no equivalent of a “Hollywood” for the biosciences

  • Biosciences companies must bear cost of

tenant improvements and face long delays and uncertainties with permitting

  • Lack of multi-tenant space despite

biosciences industry adding over 4,000 jobs in the past decade

Marketing

  • Despite significant job gains and

strong prospects for the future, lack

  • f local awareness of biosciences

growth and potential

  • Need to grow larger biopharma

partnerships and overseas relationships

Talent

  • Difficulties in recruiting experienced,

senior level biosciences scientific & management talent, particularly in biopharma sector

  • Lack of entrepreneurial talent with

serial experience

  • Hard to retain “best and brightest”

among recent biosciences graduates
