RECOMMENDATIONS

Private sector-led group to provide ongoing insight into industry trends, company needs, and unique opportunities relevant to the Palm Beach County market. This group shall have a high profile and active role in the BDB’s effort to promote and implement a successful life science strategy.

Recommendation #1: Develop a Life Sciences Leadership Group(complete)

Recommendation #2: Foster the Development of a “Life Sciences Aware Community”

Address the majority of Palm Beach County residents and business community members who are not conversant about the life science industry and the opportunities it presents for potential employment for county residents and their families; and about the potential of commercializing technologies that may one day impact health, longevity, environmental resources, climate, or food supply and security.

Identify sources of early stage and ongoing investment capital to support product development needs over 10-15 year development timelines. Educate PBC’s active investment community about investing in life science transactions. Identify Palm Beach County high net worth individuals who invest in life science companies in other locations.

Recommendation #3: Expand the “Behind the Gates” Program to Identify Industry-Specific Investment Capital and to Bolster Available C-Suite Expertise

Recommendation #4: Enhance Sector-Focused Networking

In a vibrant sector-focused cluster, networking occurs both intentionally and spontaneously. The best networking results in continually growing collaborations and expanded business and personal partnerships and serves to break down silos of expertise.

Recommendation #5: Develop a Regional Definition & Identity

Align the interests of the region and its partners under a single identity that positions the region as a unified entity for life science and biomedical development.

Recommendation #6: Enhance the Vertical Entrepreneurial Support Ecosystem

Focus on enhancing efforts to grow indigenous companies, to result in long-term, sustainable benefits including diversifying and growing the overall economy and creating high-paying jobs.

Recommendation #7: Partner with FAU, other Regional Universities and the Non-Profit Institutes to Catalyze Life Sciences Entrepreneurial Efforts

An unprecedented opportunity for the County and its academic partners to take a critical look at collective commercialization outcomes under the present framework.
