Most areas of the innovation economy in Greater Seattle were strengthened, including the innovation, start-up, local/ regional, and global ecosystems. In this report we provide a status update relating to the various elements that make up Greater Seattle’s innovation economy, and take a deep dive into the tech and health & life sciences sectors. Following is a summary of 2018’s accomplishments and challenges related to Greater Seattle’s innovation economy, and the fl ywheel eff ect that has resulted from its success. INNOVATION ECONOMY FLYWHEEL MODEL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS ECONOMY VALUE FLYWHEEL 2018 Seattle Technology Ecosystem Study 6 INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM (STRONG) MEASURES: Research and IP - The innovation ecosystem includes the networks and institutions that fund, develop, and commercialize intellectual property. In this area Washington State ranks high. Expenditures per capita into federally funded research and development organizations remain strong with the vast amount of funding coming from the federal government and going towards life sciences research. In addition, Washington remains strong when measuring new patents issued, a proxy for innovation. The University of Washington rivals competitors Stanford, MIT, and Harvard, in terms of its innovation investments, licenses issued, patents awarded, and spinouts. In addition, Microsoft and Amazon are two of the top companies in the world patenting new innovation, and Washington State is home to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a world-class, federally funded research organization. Washington State ranks 7th among states with the most patents issued in 2018 behind California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Illinois. (See charts below.)

  • DRAFT L Catterton Notco Series C Press Release CLEAN (01225446
    NotCo Closes $85 Million Series C Round and Announces U.S. Expansion The Leading Food-Tech Company in Latin America Announces the Closing of a Series C Round Co-Led by Future Positive and L Catterton, Joining Bezos Expeditions Among the Startup Investors CHILE – September 9, 2020 – Today, NotCo, a leading food-tech company in Latin America, is announcing the closing of an $85 million Series C investment round, co-led by Future Positive, the investment vehicle of Fred Blackford and Biz Stone, and L Catterton, the largest and most global consumer-focused private equity firm. NotCo is an industry pioneer built using a proprietary technology that can match animal protein to its ideal replacement among thousands of plant-based ingredients. NotCo is the only global company to launch products disrupting massive food and beverage segments, including dairy, eggs, and meat simultaneously. The company has launched NotMilk, NotBurger, NotIceCream, and NotMayo in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, and in less than three years has become the largest and fastest-growing food-tech company in Latin America. The new funding comes as the company announces scaled up operations and marks plans for international expansion leading with an entry into the United States, a promising market for its portfolio of products of plant- based food that taste as delicious and cook just like animal-based products. The company will evaluate both food service and retail partners as part of this expansion, building on successful NotBurger and NotMeat partnerships with Burger King and Papa John’s in Chile. "We have the absolute best partners to embark with us on this journey: Fred Blackford from Future Positive joins us bringing a collaborative approach, experience with the plant-based food revolution, and a deep knowledge of the tech environment," says Matias Muchnick, co-founder and CEO of NotCo.

  • The Wyoming Jobs Project: a Guide to Creating Jobs in Carbon Tech
    The American Jobs Project The Wyoming Jobs Project: A Guide to Creating Jobs in Carbon Tech 1 The American Jobs Project A Letter from the American Jobs Project It is no secret that America’s middle class is in crisis; of the millions of jobs lost during the recession, most were good-paying, middle-class jobs.1 Unfortunately, many of the jobs created during the recovery have been in low-skill, low-paying occupations.2 It is true that the United States is unlikely to attract the traditional manufacturing jobs of the past, but our research shows that with innovative policies and a smart focus on industrial sectors, states can become global hubs of innovation and create new jobs in advanced industries that capitalize on each state’s strengths. Our analysis starts with identifying the biggest market opportunity of our era. The world has embarked on a historic energy transformation, and the growing demand for advanced energy and related technology draws on “the mother of all markets” for U.S. businesses to build and sell those solutions.3 Strategically minded businesspeople are taking advantage of this accelerating market and seeing outsized returns. In 2016, the private sector reported $1.4 trillion in global advanced energy revenues, which is equal to that of the global apparel industry and nearly twice as much as the global airline industry.4 And jobs? At least 9.8 million people were employed in the global advanced energy industry in 2016, and market growth could support over 14 million additional jobs by 2030.5 The question for the United States is: Where will those new jobs be created? START QUOTE BOX At least 9.8 million people were employed in the global advanced energy industry in 2016, and market growth could support 14 million jobs by 2030.6 END QUOTE BOX We believe that our states are the answer to this question.
