Synopsis
Ep 469 - Boosting scientific innovations in British Columbia Guest: Brenda Bailey By Stuart McNish In April of 2023, the government of British Columbia announced a new life sciences and biomedical strategy. The objective is to position BC as a global hub in these sectors. Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation Brenda Bailey says, “We’re boosting our world-class talent, innovators, entrepreneurs and anchor companies to create high-quality jobs.” The Minister’s claim about world-class talent is backed up by the fact that almost every COVID-19 vaccine candidate that reached late-stage development was either initiated, developed or manufactured by a BC company or scientist. Minister Bailey says, “We are focused on building on these made-in-BC accomplishments.” We invited Minister Bailey to join us for a Conversation That Matters about BC’s strategy to build a vibrant life sciences, biomedical and high-tech base that will help to reshape our future.
