Massachusetts hopes to make a splash at this week's BIO International Convention in San Diego with a new program fostering international collaboration in the life sciences and the introduction of the Life Sciences Corridor to the biotechnology industry's largest global gathering.
Gov. Deval Patrick tomorrow will announce a new Massachusetts Life Sciences Center program creating new avenues for international organizations to collaborate on research and development with Massachusetts companies.
"It's pretty novel," said Susan Windham-Bannister, CEO of the quasi-public center, which administers the state's 10-year, $1 billion life sciences initiative. "Some countries have been trying to put similar programs in place, but the advantage that Massachusetts has is, a lot of other countries around the world want to partner with us."
Representatives from Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom and Dubai — Patrick's trade mission destinations — are slated to participate.
Massachusetts is one of 20 states with pavilions at the four-day event. It will host three panel discussions and a networking reception, and officials have at least 15 business-development sessions scheduled with companies and will meet with at least 10 international delegations.
The Life Sciences Corridor unveiled by Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, Somerville and Braintree in May as a regional economic development approach also will make its global debut. "It's a wonderful branding opportunity," Windham-Bannister said. "California can always talk about Silicon Valley and now in Massachusetts, we can talk about the Massachusetts Life Sciences Corridor."
