Biotechnology Leaders: An Interview Study
COMMUNITY COMPASS SPECIAL RESEARCH REPORT NO
3-9.
This project is meant to provide information
on biotechnology firms to planners and economic developers in Hamilton
County, Ohio, and more generally to academics and development practitioners.
The focus on the biotechnology sector stems from its strong contribution to
regional development through high average wages, rapid growth over the last
decade, and expected continued growth over the next decade. Although
several other studies have recently looked at biotechnology in the
Cincinnati-Middletown metropolitan area, this study is unique in that it is
not based on secondary data. Rather, corporate executives and other
biotechnology leaders are interviewed, and their advice on improving the
environment for biotechnology firms in the region is solicited.
