California Life Sciences Initiative Beginning in January, 2003, the Office of the Governor of the State of California and representatives from the Life Sciences clusters in four key regions – the Bay Area, the Los Angeles region, Sacramento and San Diego – worked to produce detailed strategic action plans that would provide an integrated framework for ensuring the continued competitiveness of these clusters. After a series of summits that brought all relevant parties together, each region produced strategic action plans noteworthy for two reasons. The action plans examine the needs of – as well as what is needed from – all relevant constituencies (government, universities, research institutions, private companies, economic development organizations, and so on) if the cluster is to continue to flourish. In addition, the plans explore the full range of issues that must be addressed by those constituencies, including availability of capital, commercial and residential infrastructure, regulations and taxes, human capital, entrepreneurial climate, technology commercialization, and Life Sciences community collaboration and cohesiveness. Monitor Group provided research, analysis and editorial assistance to these regional action plans.
Taking Action for Tomorrow: the California Life Sciences Action Plan is a statewide synthesis of key recommendations from the four regional Action Plans. The California Action Plan is intended to foster the competitiveness of California in Life Sciences, and was created through a joint statewide effort of four industry associations – Bay Area Bioscience Center, BIOCOM, California Healthcare Institute, and Southern California Biomedical Council - and four regional organizations -- Bay Area Council, Larta Institute, Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance, and San Diego Regional Technology Alliance – with support from Monitor Group.
Each plan is provided below, along with links to key sponsoring organizations. Taking Action for Tomorrow: the California Life Sciences Action Plan
