Venture capital investment in life sciences in Missouri is lower than other Midwestern states like Ohio and Minnesota. In 2011, Missouri saw $168.7 million invested in 9 life sciences companies, compared to over $200 million invested in Minnesota and over $175 million invested in Ohio. The lower levels of venture funding in Missouri can make it challenging for early-stage life sciences companies in the state to access capital needed for research and development.

Editor's Notes
The Community Growth Strategy was developed following a detailed data analysis and an extensive broad-based consultation process involving key representatives from all areas of the community. Moreover, the vital input of a significant number of citizens, business leaders and political leaders within the Greater Fredericton Region (GFR) helped to craft our goals.The purpose of the Community Growth Strategy is to champion sustainable economic development in the Greater Fredericton Region. The vision is to grow the Region into the most dynamic and growing community of innovation and knowledge in Canada.The Strategy identifies priority sectors for economic growth and the growth pillars are designed to achieve the defined goals. In order to achieve the goals set out in the Community Growth Strategy, three critical growth pillars have been identified as the fundamental building blocks from which it will evolve.Pillar 1: The Business Retention and Expansion (BR&E) initiative will engage the business community and its leaders in the pursuit of sustainable business development for career and wealth creation.Pillar 2: The Investment Attraction initiative creates community awareness regarding what it takes to compete and win on the international business stage. The goal is to identify and facilitate new investment opportunities in our communities.Pillar 3: The Population Growth initiative will create diversity in our communities, fill identified employee skill gaps and provide direct entrepreneurial investments in the region.
As we can see, the Greater Fredericton Region is growing regarding the active population able to work. This can be attributed to the new people entering the job market, new families moving to the region and immigration. These factors help to increase the talent pool, however, we do need to have equal growth regarding employment to keep many of these potential workers in the region. The Greater Fredericton Region also has a very active postsecondary population that is on the rise thanks to the new NBCC community college and the expansion of many other institutes. Most of these postsecondary students are not necessarily in the workforce full-time, which causes a reverse in trends when we talk about labour force in the Region. The Greater Fredericton Region has the 4th highest university-educated population in the country. This leads to a positive story for investment attraction, but also makes our community more vulnerable to lose of talent to bigger city centres. Much like many parts of Canada and North America, people have become much more mobile to accommodate workforce needs. It is not uncommon for a job seeker to move large distances to acquire a position.
These numbers can be attributed to many factors in our region, such as:- The end of the construction boom, created by the federal stimulus package that ended in 2010 Retiring baby-boomer population from the workforce, with no opportunity to backfill Late in the recession, late out of the recession Significant retail and wholesale trade cutbacks in the region (Zellers, Smitty’s, Jack and Andy’s, New Maryland Esso, El Burrito Loco, Racines, etc.) - Large portion of the labour force are civil servants (Municipal, provincial, or federal) who are experiencing cutbacks NB and the Fredericton Region has an aging population- Median age in NB in 2011 =43- Median age in Fredericton in 2011 = 38.7
These numbers are directly related to the lowered Active Labour Force stats displayed in the last slide. It is important to remember that these statistics come from Statistics Canada by way of a random sampling survey of the regions working population, which also has an error factor. It is complicated to pin-point the exact area where job loses occurred, however, we do know that that are primarily affect in the retail & warehouse trade sector for the past year. This is an alarming trend which needs to be better understood and addressed.
In last years report, Fredericton topped the chart at 11.3%, but has dropped significantly in the past year. This can be attributed to the onset of a late recession in the Greater Fredericton Region.
The news is not all bad, Greater Fredericton is narrowing the gap for the national average of the average household income by a percentage point projected for 2012. Higher paying jobs, an increase in minimum wage and a more competitive international market are all main factors of growth for these indicators. We can see that the trends is on a constant upward path, but it is important to notice that since 2003 the gap has widened between Fredericton and the national average. The path, however, is positive over the last 4 years. New Brunswick on average is seeing a much less progressive increase leading to a more troubling future.
Similar to the previous slide, the average per capita income is also on the rise and narrowing the gap. Increases in Fredericton’s per capita earnings has been the most significant over the past year. If this trend continues, we should see Fredericton passing the national average in 2 years, similar to 2002 and 2003.
We can see a direct coloration with the end of the construction stimulus package and a decrease in construction in 2011, however, the City of Fredericton still managed to stay above the $100 million investment threshold making it the 4th consecutive year in a row. This milestone is quite significant in terms of growth and prosperity for the city and it’s residents. The tremendous efforts of the Greater Fredericton municipalities have enabled direct foreign investments to truly see the pride we have for our communities. We are very fortunate to have such a proactive and forward thinking group leading the charge. Some highlights of 2011 include: - 2 new Knowledge Park buildings- YMCA- Grant-Harvey Centre- Curry Centre- Many housing projects (multi and single family dwellings)
2011 was the first year that Fredericton had the most landed immigrants in all of New Brunswick with 30%. This shift comes from a major decrease in immigration from the Saint John region of 27% from 2010 – 2011. Immigration efforts have been identified as a priority and we hope to see this number grow over the coming years.
Entrepreneurship is essential to any community. In the Fredericton Region, we average 590 net new business are registered in the Greater Fredericton Region every year, and this number is increasing!
