• Background, the drivers
– Economic Development
• Jobs, High tech clusters, biotechnology
– The Competition
• Singapore, Ireland, Tucson, Taiwan
• Puerto Rico
– PRTEC, INDUNIV,
• ViTeC, Tech roadmap, UPRM
Facts
• According to the Biotechnology Industry Annual
Report (Burril 2001)
– During 2000 the biotechnology world market had a record
breaking $441 billion (>41% increase over previous year)
Of the present global pharma products, 16% are of
biotechnological origin or related
– This is expected to rise to 30% by 2005 & by 50% by 2010
as enabling technologies such as genomics, proteomics,
cellomics, combinatorial chemistry, etc allow
pharmaceuticals & biotechnology companies to focus on
specific therapeutic areas and disease knowledge required
in the development of protein pharmaceuticals, protective
and therapeutic vaccines, advanced synthesis, biotransformation and formulation.
Facts
• Understanding the new era of genomicsbased medicine, genetically enhanced
microorganisms, cloning, stem cell,
biomarkers & the rest will require a
concerted efforts on the part of government,
industries, universities, research
organizations, the analyst community & the
media
• Pockets of biotechnology are seen as very
important for economic development in
various regions of the world
Facts
• Puerto Rico has the largest concentration of
pharmaceutical industries in the world
– Result of the synergy between world-class
managers, workforce & suppliers, and
preeminence as a global, tax-advantaged supermanufacturing center
• The world’s leading pharmaceuticals &
biotech companies trust the successful
product technology transfer, scale-up,
manufacturing and quality control of their
products to Puerto Rico human capital
Facts
• Puerto Rico:
– has the pharma manufacturing highest location
quotient** of 9.19, followed by New Jersey with
5.08.
– Exported more pharma products to foreign
countries than any of the states in the US
– Pharma exports reached $28.6 billion in Fiscal
2001, up 245% from Fiscal 1997
** a measure of the relative importance of an economic activity in a
particular geographic area compared to its importance in the US
economy as a whole- between PR and states in the mainland

• Collaboration & specialization within UPR & between
UPR & private universities, particularly in applied
research, Ph.D. and postdoctoral programs to:
– Strengthen basic infrastructure capabilities in the
biomedical, chemical, environmental & agricultural
areas
– Reach a clinical level of command over key
technologies (combinational chemistry, high throughput
target screening) & focus on therapeutic areas &
disease knowledge required in the development of
protein pharmaceuticals, protective & therapeutic
vaccines; and,
– Gain a command of advanced synthesis, biotransformation & formulation, from an interdisciplinary
framework, anchored in chemical engineering.
