Innovation, Investment, Collaboration
Conversations convened by CCRL’s network of Regional Collaboratives, with many local partners
Conversations facilitated by the Cabinet, framed by economic overview, and addressed 3 questions:
- What state actions will have the most immediate impact on California’s economic recovery?
- What state actions will result in the most significant long-term improvement to California’s economic competitiveness and comparative advantage
- How do we best structure an effective partnership between the Regions and the State around economic strategy?

• Biotechnology is no longer a fledging technology….
• It is a economic driving force in the region and the state, as well as the world.
Additional background materials are in packet
California is the sixth-largest economy in the world. The state is the arguable biotechnology leader with clusters in the Bay Area and San Diego. The public and private university systems are some of the best in the nation. California universities oversee $3 billion in academic R&D annually. California has more degreed professionals, managers, and engineers than any other state.

The Greater Sacramento Region is poised to become a Mixed Biotech/Life Science Cluster.
As of 2004:
Over 100,000 Jobs!per EDD
~100 Life Sciences companies exist in the Valley
UC is a Key Player in these Clusters: Provide Intellectual & Human CapitalUC is a Key Player in these Clusters: Provide Intellectual & Human Capital
• The recent UC Impact Study 2003: California’s Future: It Starts Here demonstrates the economic impact on California.– Through 2011, UC’s contribution is estimated to
total more than 34,000 undergraduates in science and engineering jobs.
– The impact of UC grads in industry clusters is estimated at $887 million in Gross Regional Product for 2002 and $7.4 billion between 2002-2011.
– The value and economic contribution of UC related start-ups and spin-offs are great. California headquartered companies founded by UC graduates, had combined revenues exceeding $1.2 billion in 2001.

Biotech Workforce NeedsBiotech Workforce Needs
• The U.S. is moving toward a knowledge-based economy that requires higher skills.
• According to the Economic Development Department, California’s biotechnology firms currently employ 100,000 workers: – 14% are vocational and community college grads, 50%
BS, 17% MS and 19% PhD (Steven Dahms, CSU). • One estimate is that the Bay Area biotechnology companies
will need 150,000 more biotechnology workers by 2015 (Sakai and Markland Day, City of Fremont: Life Sciences Industry Scoping Report, Sept. 2004, p 22)
Where will we find Biomanufacturing Technicians?
Where will we find Biomanufacturing Technicians?
• Hundreds of biotech jobs in Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties go begging due to a lack of qualified talent; the most-difficult positions to fill involve skilled technicians with two years of community college or the equivalent laboratory training, who can expect earning $35,000 per year. (“A Critical Analysis of the Local Biotechnology
Industry Cluster in Alameda, Contra Costa & Solano Counties,” 2002.)
Genentech (Vacaville’s Manufacturing Facility) is doubling in size in the next 4 yrs and will hire close to 600 new workers!
(Barbara Smith, The Reporter, July 16, 2004)
Training Facilities are NeededTraining Facilities are NeededWorkforce training in biomanufacturing is a critical need, especially for
displaced workers. • UC Davis (in consultation with Solano Community College and CSU,
Sacramento) has developed a pilot plant proposal – CIBER: California Institute for Bioprocess Education and Research.– Multi-disciplinary Center for advanced bioprocess training that includes
pilot-scale equipment for all unit operations common in the production of purified recombinant proteins and other biological products from microbial fermentation and cell culture.
– Will be used as a training facility for biochemical engineers and scientists who will be employed in the pharmaceutical and agricultural biotechnology industries, as well as a continuing education resource for the West Coast Biotech industry.
– Would also allow strategic training collaborations to be established between the University of California and the surrounding community colleges (especially Solano Community College that also has an established program for training the biotechnology workforce) and the California State University system.
• Investment is needed through innovative partnerships: industry, federal, and state to raise $4-5M.
If We Build it; Will the Students Come??
If We Build it; Will the Students Come??
• Biotech is Hot, but many students don’t know about it!
• We must reach out to the K-12 teachers to help.
• We must instill the Ah-Ha experience early (by 5th grade)…. Hands-on learning, discovery-based labs, guest instructors from industry or university, mentoring and job shadowing. Before- or After-School Science Programs.
• Community colleges can offer general education courses on Biotech Issues to hook undeclared majors. It can also educate the community about Biotech.
See the NSF report on science education: www.nsf.gov/sbe/src/seind02/start.htm
Call to Action for the Biotech WorkforceCall to Action for the Biotech Workforce
• Increase the effectiveness of publicly funded training programs;
• Promote alternative education and training opportunities;
• Keep older workers engaged in the labor force; • Consider changing immigration policies to better
meet future workforce needs;• Need more coordination between academia and
industry in creating relevant curriculum Create Regional Life Science Working Groups
