Catalyst is built around several modules that range from understanding personnel and technical capacities to building comprehensive strategies that leverage distinct regional advantages. Follow-up modules emphasize "hands on" management support and joint business development activities to establish new industry relationships, target opportunities and facilitate deal flow. Catalyst also gives Economic Development organizations the tangible results they need by answering many of the complex questions related to capturing life science opportunities, such as the following:

• How do we make our area more attractive to life science firms?
• Why did Merck select Tampa over Pennsylvania and Maryland for their new research facility?
• How do we recruit other companies planning to open new facilities in new locations?
• What are the timelines, terminology and success metrics for a life science economy?
• How do we create new companies from the technologies discovered at local universities and research centers?
• What is cGMP? How do local companies become more competitive with regulatory agencies?
• What seed investments, anchor firms and research institutions can provide a positive ripple effect and support the development of a life science cluster?

Let Buffalo BioSciences ignite your organization's efforts by validating existing programs and designing new strategies to successfully develop a prosperous life science economy.
