BIO International Convention (BIO-2013). Chicago, USA.

Session «Spotlight on the BRICs: Russia»

Monday, Apr 22, 2013 

Biotechnology innovation is an engine of economic growth. Many countries have thus made the development of a biotechnology sector an economic priority and have allocated significant resources into its development. While the established markets remain a vital source of new discoveries and business opportunities, the emerging markets are becoming increasingly attractive as governments implement national strategies for biotechnology growth and development. This program will highlight and explore the development strategies of the four BRIC nations. The panels in this program are designed to identify and discuss specific initiatives within each country that are driving the pace of biotechnology innovation. Each nation will have a dedicated half-day program.

The panel will examine the role of key elements of the Russian biopharm and med- clusters creation and plans for clusters further development in Russia. The Russian government actively provides state financial support, institutional grants and portfolio investments in venture funds. Number of Government  programs, including  the Ministry of Economic Development initiatives, are targeted to provide clusters participants with the access to the most advanced scientific and educational resources, invest in the clusters infrastructure and to create more favorable conditions for the investments. Private capital and industry work closely to create the instruments of the venture financing, build  product focused R&D and manufacturing with regional and global market access. Academia, educational and applied research institutions provide sources of IP and human capital, serve as a " baseboard” for public-private partnership, coordinate public instruments with private interests and money. The advantages and the most successful examples of  international pharmaceutical companies working in the innovative and most advanced clusters  (BiopharmCluster “Northern”, St Petersburg, Yaroslavl), support provided by the Russian Development institutions (Skolkovo Foundation, Vnesheconombank, Rusnano) will be discussed by key participants during this interactive session. Speakers and experts will be represented by federal and regional government authorities, state development institutions, executives from pharm-, bio- and medical clusters, representatives of the international pharmaceutical companies and research scientists.
