- Excellent public academic research institution and medical school
- Strong federal, state, and philanthropic funding
- Pro-business, pro-industry environment good for start-ups
- Heavy state investment in promoting university biotech invention
- Top-ranking technology transfer record
- Forward-thinking business school to make local tech commercialization work
- Up-and-coming urbanism to attract and retain researchers and management
