NOV. 1, 2001 | A new national report on state efforts to expand biotechnology gives considerable attention to Arkansas projects.
The biotechnology “incubator” at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) gets special mention:
”As industrial parks manifested the increase in manufacturing in post-World War II America, so technology research parks, with or without incubator facilities, are emerging … across the nation … Fifteen states reported bioscience incubators,” the authors reported (p. 16).

”As industrial parks manifested the increase in manufacturing in post-World War II America, so technology research parks, with or without incubator facilities, are emerging … across the nation … Fifteen states reported bioscience incubators,” the authors reported (p. 16). Arkansas BioVentures at UAMS is among the incubators in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia (p. 17). Incubators provide access to shared services, resources and equipment to increase the chances of success for new technology companies. |

Arkansas is the first state to receive mention in a section on state strategies to promote biotechnology:
”In Arkansas, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences developed the Arkansas Biotechnology Strategy, which proposes to expand the state’s base of bioscience companies by creating an agricultural medicine industry in Arkansas, creating an infrastructure of service providers to serve the biotechnology and medical technology industry, and attracting out-of-state pharmaceutical- and biotechnology-related businesses to locate facilities in Arkansas” (p. 8).
In March 1997, the UAMS Biomedical Biotechnology Center at UAMS launched its Arkansas BioVentures program and established Arkansas’s first biotechnology start-up company. Since 1997, nine new biotech companies have been organized around UAMS patented technologies and four additional companies will start operation soon. One of the major objectives of Arkansas BioVentures is to foster the development of new companies in Arkansas that will contribute to the state's economy and encourage the best and brightest graduates of Arkansas universities to remain in the state.
The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) released the report on state government initiatives in biotechnology in September. The Battelle Memorial Institute prepared the report for BIO.
The institute observed that strong academic research institutions conducting basic research in the biosciences are important for development of the biotechnology industry.
The Battelle Memorial Institute also noted that some states are devoting part of their shares of the nationwide tobacco settlement to bioscience research. In Arkansas, the state will use part of its annual tobacco revenue for the Arkansas Biosciences Institute to foster collaborative research to reduce tobacco-related illnesses.
