Page 3: TRRA 2010 Annual Report

12010 Annual Report to Stakeholders

In October 2005, senior leaders from Toronto Region businesses,universities, colleges, research institutes, hospitals, municipal andregional organizations, and the governments of Ontario and Canadacame together to officially launch the Toronto Region Research Alliance(TRRA).

These far-sighted leaders rallied around the organization’s vision totransform the Toronto Region into a top five global centre for researchand research-intensive industry. This vision has propelled TRRA’sactivities over the past five years and, with each year, we have becomemore focused in our efforts (1) to attract new innovative research-intensive companies and to expand those already here; and (2) tostrengthen the Toronto Region's public and private capacity forresearch, development and innovation.

As noted in selected milestones (opposite page), TRRA has developed anin-depth knowledge of the region’s research strengths, created a compelling story to promote the TorontoRegion on the international stage, and contributed to shaping the province’s and country’s research andinnovation agenda. We also work closely with numerous partners and stakeholders that share a commonpurpose – to bring greater prosperity to the Toronto Region.

TRRA’s greatest strength is our stakeholder base. As a diverse public-private partnership, TRRA is abroad-based, cross-sectoral platform that connects senior leaders committed to strengthening the TorontoRegion’s research and innovation economy. We have developed a strong reputation for high-quality researchand analysis and an outstanding network of contacts spanning the public and private sectors. This isreflected in our ability to attract leading companies to our stakeholder group. I’m pleased to welcome12 new stakeholders to the Alliance, including 10 companies, one municipality and one research institution.

This past year marked an important leadership transition for TRRA. I stepped away from the managementrole and the Board appointed Patrick Draper as the new President and CEO of the organization. Patrickbrings tremendous experience in economic development and sales and marketing and, I am confidentthat under his leadership, TRRA will reach new levels of success in investment attraction and researchcapacity building.

We cannot celebrate TRRA’s first five years without remembering David Pecaut, who passed away inDecember. David was the driving force in establishing TRRA, and he remained actively involved andpassionate about the region’s potential. We also salute three exceptional individuals who have been anintegral part of TRRA’s development and growth. Professor David Johnston, President of University ofWaterloo, who was recently appointed Canada’s next Governor General. David was a founding memberof TRRA’s Board and has been one of the staunchest supporters of a regional approach to economicdevelopment. Founding Board Chair Gordon Nixon, President of the Royal Bank of Canada, andMary Jo Haddad, President and CEO of The Hospital for Sick Children and a former member ofthe Board, were appointed to the Order of Canada.

In conclusion, I would like to thank all of TRRA’s Board members; they have been exceedingly generousin sharing their time and advice. I also wish to acknowledge the continued support of the Advisory Councilwhich brings an invaluable perspective to TRRA’s activities.

Sincerely,

Courtney PrattChairman

MANAGEMENT REPORT

The emergence of the global, knowledge-based economy has changedtraditional economic development. The recent recession acceleratedthe transition, and we now see that technology-based economicdevelopment (TBED) has become a priority for countless cities,states and countries, in both the developed and developing world.

In the highly-competitive world of TBED, the sales process and valuepropositions are different than traditional economic development. Thereis a much greater emphasis on in-depth knowledge about the sectorsand how the region’s research strengths can optimize a company’sbusiness objectives. Recognizing this difference is what distinguishesthe Toronto Region Research Alliance (TRRA) from traditional economicdevelopment agencies and positions the organization as a valuedpartner and contributor.

Staff activity in the past year focused on the critical intersection of innovation and business investment.Some of our key deliverables included:

• Investment Attraction: TRRA’s first FDI trip to Asia has resulted in a high-potential investmentopportunity in the life sciences sector. This project focuses on a partnership between a major Chinesepharmaceutical company and one of the region’s premier research institutions.

• Capacity Building: Looking for innovative solutions to solving problems was the key to TRRA’s successin chairing the Ontario Clinical Trials Working Group. In its final report, representatives from thepharmaceutical industry and the region’s research hospitals identified several short- and long-termstrategies to overcoming barriers to conducting clinical trials in the province.

• Research: TRRA’s research and analysis of the Toronto Region’s expertise in water-related researchresulted in a compelling case for R&D investment. These findings helped inform the government’sdecision to introduce the Water Opportunities and Conservation Act. TRRA’s report, Innovation inManufacturing, Supply Chains and Knowledge Networks in Ontario, was an unprecedented look at howinnovation occurs in the automotive, advanced manufacturing and steel sectors.

• Marketing: TRRA highlighted the breadth and depth of the Toronto Region’s pharmaceutical andbiotechnology cluster in The Scientist’s Ontario Life Sciences supplement. This new look at the clusternot only identified the pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, it showed the diverse range ofspecialized services that support this critical sector.

From a revenue perspective, TRRA’s core funding is stable.Industry Canada renewed our annual funding, and ourcontract with the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovationis in the second year of a 2-year contract. We added 12 newstakeholders to the alliance. We also reduced expenses11.5% over the previous year.

I am delighted to be a part of this unique organization.TRRA’s reputation for quality work is the result of thecommitment and hard work of the staff. I wish to thank themfor their ongoing efforts to fulfill TRRA’s mandate to attractresearch-intensive foreign investment to the Toronto Regionand maximize the region’s outstanding research strengths.

Sincerely,

Patrick DraperPresident and CEO

TRRA’s Investment Attraction team links innovationand investment through a variety of sales activities,including lead generation, developing customizedvalue propositions and presenting a compellingbusiness case for research-intensive investmentin the Toronto Region. The team completed threemajor foreign direct investment (FDI) trips,focusing on three key research-intensive sectors:life sciences, IT security and greentech.

In October 2009, TRRA coordinated its firstlead generation trip to Asia, targeting thepharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors inJapan and China. The small delegation includeda major research hospital and a Toronto Regionbiopharmaceuticals company that has experiencein Asia. The group traveled to five cities in Japanand six in China, and met with 27 companies andtwo research hospitals. To-date, one of theseleads has become a high-potential researchinvestment opportunity involving a Chinesepharmaceutical company. The mission startedwith the 3-day BIOJapan 2009 conference inYokohama, in concert with a delegation led bythe Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.

In November, TRRA arranged a trip to Londonand Frankfurt, focusing on IT security firms.TRRA held eight meetings with companies withthe potential to establish R&D, sales ormanufacturing operations in Toronto Region.These meetings were supported by targetedresearch, identifying regional assets specificto the companies' areas of business and needs.

TRRA also attended the Pollutec trade show inParis in December. This international trade showfocuses on noise, water and air pollutioninnovations. TRRA presented targeted TorontoRegion assets to 12 companies from Germany,France, Israel, the U.K., Belgium, the Netherlandsand Luxembourg. An additional 15 meetings wereconducted in conjunction with the trade show.

The team has a number of investment projectsat various stages on the go. A small samplingincludes: IT company with enterprise e-commerceplatform that wants to expand; French medicalimaging company; European biotechnologycompany interested in a North Americanexpansion; US medical device companyconsidering a co-location in Canada; California-based social media start-up is considering settingup their operation in Canada; and Germancompany interested in expanding their R&Din North America.

Working with PartnersThe Investment Attraction team also participatedin numerous meetings with prospects and inboundtrade missions at the request of our economicdevelopment partners. TRRA offers critical insightinto the region’s research strengths and how thiscan further their business objectives. For example,TRRA was involved in a presentation to Eisai,a Japanese pharmaceutical company thatannounced the expansion of their businessinto Canada, to be based in Mississauga. Inthis case, TRRA reviewed the size of the region’spharmaceutical cluster, demonstrating why theToronto Region is the optimal location to establishcommercial operations.

The Investment Attraction team works closelywith federal, provincial and regional economicdevelopment partners including: Ontario Ministryof Research and Innovation, Ontario Ministry ofEconomic Development & Trade, Industry Canada,Department of Foreign Affairs and & InternationalTrade, Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, InvestToronto, City of Mississauga, Town of Markham,Canada’s Technology Triangle and Communitech.

52010 Annual Report to Stakeholders

In 2009-2010, TRRA spearheaded progress onthree projects to help build the region’s researchand innovation capacity in both the public andprivate sectors.

Multinational pharmaceutical companies investmore than $400 million a year in clinical trials inOntario. While Ontario has outstanding researchersand clinicians, this major economic activity wasdeclining due to increased global competitionand local obstacles that increased cost.

The Ontario Clinical Trials Working Group(OCTWG), chaired by TRRA, submitted a finalreport to the Ontario Ministry of Research andInnovation in December 2009. The OCTWGincluded representatives from research hospitalsand universities, pharmaceutical companiesand the government. In its report, the OCTWGhighlighted the complexity of conducting clinicaltrials and provided recommendations to helpovercome these obstacles. The province’s LifeSciences Strategy, published in April 2010,incorporated recommendations from the report.

Nanotechnology related economic and researchactivity represents roughly 50% of the nationaltotal. TRRA worked with academic institutionsand industry to create a provincial nanonetwork to coordinate a comprehensivevoice and development program for Ontarionanotechnology R&D activity across institutionsand industry, both within Canada and

internationally. The Interim Board wasestablished in January 2010 and the neworganization continues to take shape with TRRAproviding logistical support in these early stages.

TRRA remains actively involved in the WaterQuality in Urban and Urbanizing Watershedsproject. TRRA is working with the project’s leadinstitution, the University of Waterloo and sixother university partners, to secure funds fromthe private sector to match the Ontario ResearchFund's commitment of $8.95 million ininfrastructure funding. The research projectwill develop and consolidate all new technologiesrelated to water use and re-use into one regionalplatform. The regional platform will provide atest-bed and demonstration site for universities,private sector companies, and municipal watersuppliers to market that expertise to the world.This project is aligned with the goals and prioritiesof Ontario’s proposed Water Opportunities andWater Conservation Act, and has the potential tobe one of the crown jewels in Ontario's strategyto make the province a world centre for watertechnologies, processes, and services.

CAPACITY BUILDING

Page 8: TRRA 2010 Annual Report

6 2010 Annual Report to Stakeholders

One of TRRA’s core strengths is compiling andanalyzing regional, national and international dataabout public and private sector research andinnovation. From detailed statistical analysis toidentifying global research and innovation trends,this intelligence informs virtually all aspects ofTRRA’s activity. We use this in-depth knowledgeto position the Toronto Region as a leading globalcentre of research and innovation, and to developcompelling business cases to influenceinvestment decisions.

Original ResearchTRRA commissioned original research on theadvanced manufacturing, auto and steel sectorstitled, Innovation in Manufacturing, Supply Chainsand Knowledge Networks in Ontario. ProfessorPeter Warrian of the University of Toronto's MunkCentre for International Studies led the researchteam that interviewed 76 people from industry,academia, and government research bodies inthe Greater Golden Horseshoe. The researchidentified aspects of innovation and knowledgenetworks in the three sectors that had not beendocumented before. The report found that thenature of innovation within these three sectorsin Southern Ontario is based on their position inthe global supply chain, and also identified theneed for bona fide R&D systems and workableintellectual property policies to better connectindustry to knowledge assets in communitycolleges and universities.

TRRA shared the findings with industry andacademic stakeholders. Close to 100 peopleattended meetings in Hamilton and Kitchener inJanuary 2010 that we co-presented with McMasterUniversity and Canada’s Technology Trianglerespectively. As well, the research was presentedto the Heads of Applied Research Committee ofColleges Ontario, the Globalization and RegionalInnovation Systems (PROGRIS) Conference held atthe University of Toronto, and the Ontario Divisionof the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.

Developing an Agri-food ClusterTRRA is leading the project to develop an agri-foodcluster in Southern Ontario. The Greater Toronto-Guelph-Waterloo corridor is the third largest foodmanufacturing region in North America (behind onlyCalifornia and the Chicago area). The goal is to forma branded and organized cluster in SouthernOntario to capitalize on the region's assets. Theformation of a cluster to coordinate and market aSouthern Ontario agri-food cluster has the potentialto be of significant impact as the agri-food industrymakes up 12.4% (2008) of manufacturing GDP inOntario. The cluster will coordinate the manyentities in the region and form an organization orbuild upon existing resources to effectively network,coordinate and market these strong assets. Overthe past year, TRRA identified the agri-food sector'sinstitutional and industry strengths in innovation. Asa result, the region is now armed with asset maps ofthe sector, a report on North American agri-foodcluster activities and international best practices,and a survey of industry to determine interest increating a formal cluster initiative.

TRRA is working closely with economic developmentpartners in Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo,Mississauga and Toronto, provincial governmentagencies, and food-related research institutes andassociations.

The Toronto Region’s Accelerate Innovationbranding powered our marketing initiatives in2009-2010. Visits to the content-rich websitedoubled following the website re-launch lastyear. This year, we redesigned the homepageand added dynamic content that highlights theToronto Region’s innovation clusters. In addition,we updated all of our marketing collateralmaterials, and created numerous new and revisedsector fact sheets.

We expanded our existing collection of innovationprofiles with six new success stories that highlightindustry-academic research partnerships. TheOntario College of Art & Design (OCAD)University’s design expertise was showcased ina profile that highlighted research collaborationswith partners in the Mobile Enterprise InnovationCentre (MEIC). TRRA highlighted the CollegesOntario Network for Industry Innovation (CONII)and the important role it plays in linking smalland medium-sized enterprises with the appliedresearch expertise that colleges offer. We profiledfive research collaborations featuring localcompanies and Centennial College, George BrownCollege, Conestoga College, Mohawk College,and Seneca College. TRRA then consolidated over70 innovation profiles and success stories froma number of sources into one location on ourwebsite to convey the breadth and depth of theinnovation activity in the Toronto Region.

Raising International AwarenessTRRA produced a profile of the Toronto Region’srobust pharmaceutical and biotechnologycluster that appeared in The Scientist magazinesupplement, Life Sciences in Ontario. The profilefocuses on the business infrastructure thatpharma and biotech companies need to establishcommercial operations. The G20 Summit in June2010 provided another opportunity to highlight theadvantages of research and innovation investmentin the Toronto Region. TRRA participated inseveral activities aimed at international journalistsincluding a media ‘fam’ tour organized by thefederal government, a media packagedisseminated to foreign journalists, andan ad in the G20 information supplement.

TRRA held several events to raise our profileamong key target audiences. In mid-September,we invited senior business executives to apresentation featuring Peter Nicholson, Presidentof the Council of Canadian Academies. TRRA wasa lead partner of the Toronto Forum for GlobalCities in November. Courtney Pratt, TRRA’sChairman, interviewed Robert Reich, former USSecretary of Labour and member of PresidentObama’s Transition Advisory Board.

LOOKING FORWARD

Our first five years have been exciting and challenging. TRRA has evolved from a three-person start-uporganization to a respected partner and contributor to economic development in the Toronto Region. Asthis publication goes to print, we are in the midst of developing a new Strategic Plan to map out our nextfive years.

What will the next five years bring?TRRA will continue to focus on attracting research-intensive foreign investment to the Toronto Region –expanding the R&D operations of existing organizations and attracting new foreign companies to locatehere. In addition to attracting foreign investment, we recognize the need to strengthen the R&D capacityof regional businesses. TRRA will explore ways to help high-potential SMEs enhance their research andinnovation activities.

Human capital is one of the key components of attracting investment to the region. Having an educatedand skilled workforce is vital to bringing high-value jobs. With this in mind, TRRA has submitted aproposal to the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for the Research and InnovationJobs Project. The project would identify future employment needs in science and technology basedindustries, assess the capacity of the region’s colleges/universities to meet the demand, and survey youthon their interest in careers in research and innovation. As well, we want to work with stakeholders toattract foreign talent to the Toronto Region.

Research and innovation intelligence – regional and global – will remain a core activity. TRRA’s Researchteam will compile and analyze data about the Toronto Region’s innovation clusters and researchorganizations as well as identify global trends in R&D expenditures and programs. Increasing awarenessof the region’s research and innovation strengths among international R&D decision-makers andinfluencers will be a priority for the Marketing team. Research Capacity Building will continue towork closely with stakeholders to identify barriers to innovation and develop solutions to address thechallenges and opportunities.

TRRA will concentrate on new energies and stakeholder engagement. We want to expand and furtherengage our diverse stakeholder base while ensuring that we offer clearly-defined benefits.

There is no doubt that TRRA’s next five years will be equally as exciting and challenging as the first five.We look forward to working closely with our funders, economic development partners and stakeholdersto establish the Toronto Region as a top five region for research and innovation.
