The biotechnology cluster initiative in Baja California aims to develop the biotech sector in the region. It will do so by attracting research companies and providing funds and facilities through joined private-public efforts. The strategic location of the region places businesses near a cost-effective, high-tech market in Mexico and close proximity to the influential biotech industry in California. The initiative will harness the region's scientific and business potential through networking and creative solutions to support biotech companies and technology development, generating high-quality jobs. It is supported by government policies that provide venture capital and funding to advance commercialization of research discoveries.
