5. 5
Alsace BioValley
Life science cluster, founded 1996. that connects academia and companies of three
countries (France, Germany, Switzerland). The main objective is the greater research
cooperation between companies and academia involved in the life science sectors,
including pharmacology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, medical technology, chemistry
and agricultural biotechnology.

6. MediconValley Alliance
Cluster, founded in 1997, across two countries (Denmark and Sweden), that counts a
hundred companies and more than 50 service providers. It is also a gatekeeper zone to
a database of 443 companies, 31 hospitals, 10 universities looking for partnering
opportunities with biotech, pharmaceutical, and medtech industries.

7. Broad Institute
Founded in 2004 is essentially an “experiment in a new way of doing science” towards
large-scale scientific collaborations in genomics and chemical biology among 5
hospitals, MIT, Harvard University.

8. MedCity (London) describes the collaboration between the Mayor of
London and the capital's health science centres of three premier
academic institutions Imperial College London, King's College London
and University College London.
Launched in 2014 to increase collaboration between those science
universities and promote the broader “golden triangle” between
London, Cambridge and Oxford to investors. Created to augment the
UK’s position as a world leader in medical innovation, MedCity is a
unique collaboration, aiming to lead the growth of the London, Oxford
and Cambridge life sciences region on a global scale.
MedCity is funded by King's Health Partners, Imperial College Academic
Health Science Centre, UCLPartners and the Mayor of London.

9. TEACHINGS
1. Competition for attracting investments is more
and more a worldwide (not a local) game
2. Organization-based innovation wins on
individual innovation
3. Investments are attracted by Innovation Hubs
inside which the collaborative approach is
the rule

10. we run the risk to watch
investments, innovation, economic growth
from the other (poor) side of the wall

11. For each specialty/field:
1. map the excellences
What to do

12. For each specialty/field:
1. map the excellences
2. set up a network to
group them
What to do

13. Think about doing that for as many specialties/fields
as possible…

14. thanks
