The Case Studies • • • Vancouver, British Columbia Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Toronto, Ontario Ottawa, Ontario Montréal, Québec Halifax, Nova Scotia Innovation Systems Research Network
Definitions • Life Sciences – Broad definition that includes biotechnology, medical and assistive technologies, pharmaceuticals, contract research, bioinformatics, etc. • Biotechnology – OECD (2002): “The application of Science & Technology to living organisms as well as parts, products and models thereof, to alter living or nonliving materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services. ” – Statistics Canada uses similar definition Innovation Systems Research Network
Key Questions • • Composition, specialization, strengths Scale Enabling and triggering forces Current challenges Innovation Systems Research Network
Key Questions II • Role of public intervention – Catalytic, enabling, impeding? – Deliberate, accidental (or both)? – Scale: local, provincial, federal? • Role of civic associations • Talent, finance: local, nonlocal • Importance of local (vs. global) K flows Innovation Systems Research Network
Vancouver: Overview • Key triggers/enabling factors – QLT Inc. (1981) & UBC’s University-Industry Liaison Office (UBCUILO) • Specialization – Over ½ of firms in sub-sectors of human health • Characteristics/strengths – – – Fastest growing in Canada based on core biotech firms (E&Y 2002) Represented 70% of all biotech firms in BC (2001) Presence of lead firm (QLT Inc. ) Strong R&D base General and specialized industry associations • Size – Life Sciences firms: 80 -140 – Cdn. biotech firms: 48 – Biotech employees: 1701 (Industry Canada Life Sciences Branch 2005) Innovation Systems Research Network

Ottawa: Current Challenges • No life sciences-based VC headquarters/decision-makers located in Ottawa • Need to build up industrial infrastructure, lacks a pharmaceutical base • Weak local linkages – Low commercialization success: need linkages between universities, labs, firms – MDS Nordion: a potential anchor firm but lacks linkages to major local R&D actors Innovation Systems Research Network
Montréal: Overview • Key triggers/enabling factors – Pharma base, NRC-BRI (1983), Bio. Chem Pharma (1986), creation of public/quasipublic VC funds (1990 s) • Specialization – Human health ‘megacentre’ with drug discovery/pharma strengths • Strengths – Home to 62% of biotech firms in Québec (2001) – Strong public support & coordination – VC/R&D funding, tax incentives, etc. (least expensive operating costs in Canada for biomedical R& D) – Strong presence of R&D and manufacturing pharma (local and MNCs) – Strong local R&D base – Presence of industry associations • Size – Life Sciences firms: >270 – Cdn. biotech firms: 80 (2001); 129 (Quebec, 2003) – Biotech employment: 3238 (Industry Canada Life Sciences Branch 2005) Innovation Systems Research Network

Consult. serv. Employment Location Quotients 0. 8 1. 0 1. 2 External Linkages Source: Data compiled and diagram created by Spencer and Vinodrai 2005. Innovation Systems Research Network
Montréal: Current Challenges • Historically strong government intervention and coordination – High dependence on public support especially in venture capital financing • Less than 10% of investment in Québec from private sources – Government withdrawal is occurring but is the private sector stepping in? • Highlights future vulnerabilities – Private funds in Québec (e. g. pension plans & assurance companies) avoid Québec venture capital – Investments spread too thin? – Risky drug development depends on reliable injections of financing through various stages – Merck, Pfizer drug controversies • Affected biotech stocks • Stock value decline of large pharma felt especially in Montréal – Neurochem Inc. example • Private sector investors not as sympathetic with failures Innovation Systems Research Network
Halifax: Overview • Key triggers/enabling factors – Biotech Working Group (1993), Ocean Nutrition Canada (1997) Dalhousie University establishes Business Development Office (1999) • Specialization – Majority of firms in human health but diverse sub-sectors (e. g. marine) • Characteristics/Strengths – Very young – is it a cluster? – Site of majority of biotech activity in Atlantic provinces – 42% of biotech firms in region located in Halifax (2001) – Local R&D base – Growing public and private support: Bioscience Enterprise Centre (In. Novacorp), Med. Innova Partners Inc. , Life Sciences Development Association (LSDA) • Size – Life Sciences firms: ~60 – Cdn. biotech firms: 10 (2001) – Biotech employment: 558 (Industry Canada Life Sciences Branch 2005) Innovation Systems Research Network

Halifax: Current Challenges • Financing – High dependency on local financing – But lack of VC main obstacle for growth (Rosson and Mc. Larney 2004) • Currently a collection of firms rather than cluster (Rosson and Mc. Larney 2004) – Relatively young, small & private firms – R&D and inward focused – Lack of “core” specialization/interests Innovation Systems Research Network

Comparative Summary (Continued) Vancouver Saskatoon Toronto Ottawa Montréal Halifax 80 -140 ~400 100 -140 >270 ~60 48 14 55 10 80 10 Biotech Employmt. 1701 369 2661 736 3238 558 Challenges • Researchbased: ‘IP vendors’ • Weak industrial infrastructure • Sustainable? • Financing • Public financing programs too diverse and targeted? • Undergoing change • Profile problem: local and international • Weak commercialization systems • Weak domestic linkages • Weak industrial infrastructure • No local lifesciences VC fund • Government dependence • Risky drug discovery activities • Financing • Is it a cluster? • Most firms young, small, inward looking, R&D focused Size: LS Firms Core Biotech firms Innovation Systems Research Network
Explaining Cluster Formation and Evolution • Path Dependency – Origins of Toronto’s diverse life sciences cluster found in the breadth of its older economic activities (Lowe and Gertler 2005) – Vancouver: weak industrial infrastructure to support product development, modest pool of local venture capital, and absence of a local pharmaceutical base has influenced many firms to be ‘IP vendors’ • Role of key public research institute varies by cluster – Vancouver & Saskatoon: Continues to be important for firm creation (UBC) and R&D coordination (NRC-PBI) – Montréal: NRC-BRI co-evolved with private sector – Ottawa: Public research actors passive, though becoming more active recently Innovation Systems Research Network
Accounting for Change • Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax: – emergence of a lead firm sparked latent entrepreneurialism/provided credibility & inspiration for the region • Saskatoon & Montreal: – policy-driven through federal decisions to locate national laboratories in each city • Ottawa: – ICT bust in late 1990 s raised profile of life sciences, attracting political and financial support Innovation Systems Research Network
Knowledge Base (1) • Identified as a critical factor firms to locate or remain in the region – R&D intensive, expertise, key actors in technology transfer (out-licensing and firm creation), research collaborations, consulting services, facilities, R&D infrastructure, etc. • Need to acknowledge interdependent relationship between local and global knowledge flows Innovation Systems Research Network
Knowledge Base (2) • Saskatoon case an extreme example of this: – Foreign proprietary sources of knowledge (knowwhat and why) – Local knowledge base develops tacit dimensions of know-how and know-who to complement nonlocal knowledge flows • “…the generation and transmission of the non-codified knowledge in the regional system is the key factor holding things together. People develop skills and working relationships, which together convert bits of information into operable knowledge” (Phillips et al 2004) Innovation Systems Research Network
Skilled Labour/Talent • Importance of local supply of skilled labour/talent – Often drawn from local research institutes and co-locating firms – Some crossovers in sectors (Toronto: pharma, Ottawa: ICT) • Consistent problems recruiting managers; diverse responses – Halifax: Hire retired CEOs that settled in the area (Rosson and Mc. Larney 2004) – Saskatoon: Recruit expatriates (Greenberg 1999, Spurgeon 2002) – Toronto: Diverse mix of sources (local and non-local) and methods • Gertler and Levitte (2003) – Innovative Biotech firms devote more resources, pursue diverse strategies, and tap into global networks for recruiting staff • Local and global sources once again important Innovation Systems Research Network
Summary (1) CLUSTER FORMATION • Cases present a complex causal chain to explain cluster formation influenced by historical, region-specific context – Does not offer easily generalizable explanations for cluster formation Innovation Systems Research Network
Summary (2) LOCAL VS. GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE FLOWS • Local and global knowledge flows: cases confirm mutually beneficial, reinforcing nature of these two scales of flows (Bathelt et al 2004) Innovation Systems Research Network
Summary (3) SPECIALIZATION or DIVERSITY? TWO PATHS • Specialized: – Montreal, Vancouver, Saskatoon – High potential return – Risk, vulnerability? • Diverse: – Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax – Resilience – Larger E potential, more diverse mix of occupations, employment opportunities, higher average cluster income – Lower ‘coherence’, visibility?
