1 Illinois Programs & Initiatives Advancing the Biopharmaceutical Industry Key Programs & Initiatives The opportunities generated by the biopharmaceutical sector as a leader in innovation and high quality job creation are not limited to just a few states, but have a substantial national footprint. States proactively pursue the development of the biopharmaceutical sector because it represents: a large-scale, geographically dispersed supply chain spanning R&D through to production and distribution; a key driver of the economy including the recent economic recovery; and a sector paying high wage rates in quality jobs. States are deploying a range of programs and initiatives to support and grow the biopharmaceutical industry, including: comprehensive state development strategies; investments in R&D and related infrastructure; programs to boost venture capital, entrepreneurship, and innovation development; advanced manufacturing; economic incentive initiatives; and programs working to advance STEM education and training. Illinois stands out in its focus on bioscience commercialization, its network of place-making research parks and associated business accelerators and incubators, and its broad-based STEM education initiatives.

Science Career Investigation -- Nearly 2,000 teachers, administrators and students directly participate in outreach presentations annually. Comprehensive State Strategies to Support Biopharmaceutical Development Illinois has had an active focus on maintaining the state s competitive position in biosciences development as part of its state economic development strategy. A 2014 Illinois Science and Technology Roadmap issued by the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition identified medical biotechnology as one of the state s leading technology areas involving drug discovery and diagnostic platforms as well as advances in neurological diseases, oncology and optical medical devices. The Coalition serves as a convening and leadership organization for technology development as authorized by state statute in 1989, and involves over 75 members drawn from the leadership across technology industry, research universities, federal labs and civic organizations. This focus on innovation and technology development is likely to be sustained and deepened in the years to come with the announcement in 2015 of the creation of the new Innovate Illinois Advisory Council, with the charge to develop an agenda to grow the state s innovation economy, including developing high-growth industry clusters, attracting resources, developing and retaining top talent, and fostering collaboration among all the parties in the state s technology and innovation community. Illinois has one of the most active bioscience industry councils, known as ibio, with over 500 members drawn from across the various sectors of the biosciences. ibio stands out in its efforts for biosciences development through its ibio Institute, formed back in 2003, which is involved in direct program activities for STEM education and the entrepreneurial development of bioscience companies. Another state level organization that plays a key role in advancing biosciences development is the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which is actively engaged in technology development efforts through its own programs as well as funding support for partner organizations. Programs and Initiatives to Build Bioscience Infrastructure Illinois has helped nurture a network of research and technology parks associated with universities statewide. The parks that emphasize the biopharmaceutical sector include: Illinois Science and Technology Park in Skokie, a 26-acre, 2 million square foot project being privately developed by Forest City Enterprises on land that formerly belonged to the G.D. Searle unit of Pfizer. University Technology Park, a 1.5 million square foot project with a 33,000 square foot wet-lab incubator on the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Chicago Technology Park, in the multi-institutional Illinois Medical District near the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), including a new Health, Technology, Innovation 12,000 square foot facility to serve as a proof of concept center to validate biosciences research innovations, convert innovation into products, and accelerate projects to venture readiness. Research Park and EnterpriseWorks incubator at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana Peoria NEXT Innovation Center incubator near the Peoria branch campus of the UIC Medical School Illinois has provided substantial funding to construct university biomedical research buildings. In recent years the Illinois Jobs Now! initiative, passed in 2009, has been a key source of capital and infrastructure funding for higher education. As originally planned $1.5 billion of its total $31 billion over six years was targeted for higher education, including nearly $800 million for public universities and $300 million for private universities.
