Cluster AnalysisWeak demand conditions do not contribute to an innovative climate

Opportunities for Development in Toronto’s ClusterEncourage more competition among health care providers

Revamp pricing strategyStrengthen intellectual property protection Reduce drug approval times and duplication of regulatory processes Allow for more end-consumer input and choice in system

Encourage more outsourcing by health care providers Enforce more sophisticated purchasing by health care providers/fundersImprove linkages between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs

R&D is Increasingly Shifting to the U.S.

“…there is a process of concentration of R&D into North America. In 1999, European pharmaceutical companies spent only 59 percent of their worldwide R&D in the European Union, down from 73 percent in 1990. The United States was the main beneficiary of this shift in R&D expenditures.” (Pharmaceutical Industry Profile 2004)

Source: European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industry Associations (EFPIA)

• According to a recent Bain report, “the heart of Europe’s decline is the dramatic shift in pharmaceutical innovation from Europe to the US. While a number of reasons are mentioned above, the primary cause is that pharmaceutical innovation has ‘followed the money.” To get a return on the $1.7B currently required to bring a new drug to market, on average, pharmaceutical companies increasingly focus on the US market, which represents the largest and fastest-growing share of the global profit pool, now 62%. Pharmaceutical companies now depend on the US as their key source of returns on R&D investments.”

Price Controls Stifle Innovation

Price ceilings Limit competitionImpede innovation – companies can’t recoup costsReduce the quality of health care provided to patients

“Canada’s failure to provide effective data exclusivity remains a cause for serious concern. Price controls, regulatory delays and restrictions on formulary listing also hamper PhRMA member companies’ ability to do business in Canada….The use of international price comparisons and the establishment of price ceilings on patented medicines are counterproductive to initiatives to provide high quality health care, and thus improve the health of patients, or to help contain healthcare spending.” (PhRMA 2004)

Related/Supporting Industries Are a Weakness for Toronto

Presence of specialized legal firms in Toronto matches BostonToronto significantly lags life science venture capital in dollar terms (number of firms and average deal size are about 1/3 of that in Boston), but life science ventures account for similar percentage of all venture capital investments

Toronto firms primarily attract local VC funds; less successful in attracting outside funds

Toronto significantly lags Boston in the number of consultant firms with a specialty in life science and intellectual property
