Biotech competition

This redherring article highlights the situation with biotech. While cities and states in the US are trying to attract biotech, and tout educational practices that are harmful to scientific progress, other governments are attracting biotech. Money, support, infrastructure are being used to increase that nation’s chances of being a biotech center.

Not sure where the next break through will come from, and for the next few years, it will probably still be from the US. However, with other countries training and educating their own scientists and creating science parks, the concentration of advancement will not continue.

You can look at many governement policies, and see where the incentives exist. Follow those incentives, and you'll have a pretty good scope of where innovation will emerge.
