Innovation Teams
Purpose
Innovation teams gather member expertise and resources to facilitate solutions for and bring opportunities to the bioscience ecosystem in our region.
Each innovation team focuses on a unique aspect of ecosystem development, which contribute to a World Class Cluster:
- Thriving Industry
- Total Mountain Northwest Supply Chain
- Global Entrepreneurship Hub
- 21st Century Talent
Structured for Solutions
Each team is supported by a board champion and led by a team leader. Innovation teams function by determining the greatest need and then designing and implementing project(s) to meet that need.
Thus far, we have two teams: the Bioscience Innovation Hub Team (Thriving Industry) and the 21st Century Talent Innovation Team (21st Century Talent). The former focuses on the infrastructural needs of the region, while the latter focuses on the workforce development needs specific to our industry.
Bioscience Hub Innovation Team
Purpose
To develop the needed infrastructure for bioscience companies to thrive when they startup in or relocate to the Inland and Mountain Northwest.
Focus
For many companies, this means readily available lab space. With this in mind, the Hub Team has two key focus areas:
- Building the Evergreen Bioscience Innovation Building in Spokane County, which will triple available lab space, and
- Establishing a sterile therapeutics tech hub for the Inland and Mountain Northwest.

21st Century Talent Innovation Team
Purpose
To drive collaboration for a 21st-century cGXP workforce in the Inland and Mountain Northwest.
Focus
Our region possesses talent strengths in pharma and manufacturing, which are supported by workforce development programs and a pipeline of local university graduates. This creates an opportunity to upskill workers for bioscience roles using custom workforce development programs. With this in mind the Talent Innovation Team has these key focus areas:
- Increasing available internships at all biotechnician career path levels.
- Reducing biases in recruitment and hiring practices to increase the size of the talent pool considered for open biotech jobs.
Meeting Times & Contact
When: First Friday of the month from noon to 1 p.m.
Where: Online via Zoom
Contact: Email srasmussen@greaterspokane.org and a calendar invitation will be extended to you.

Events
Collaboration
Key to a Thriving Bioscience Cluster
EBIC’s quarterly Collaboration events are an opportunity for community building with your fellow cluster members while sharing solutions and solving problems. This means bringing forward ideas and questions that help guide EBIC’s strategy, meeting the individuals involved in innovation teams, and more as determined by the interests of our members.
These events are intended to have the feeling of a friendly town hall meeting and can be virtual, in-person, or hybrid.
Our next Collaboration event is on December 12th. Mark your calendars!

*The person designated as your company’s new account owner must be a seat holder before they can be assigned this role by the EBIC team. Please visit the “Add Member” tab to invite the new account owner to hold a seat in your account. This will result in an automated email inviting the individual to log in for the first time. He/she/they must accept this invitation to complete their login setup and be assigned ownership. If no one in your company has access to add seat holders to your account, please contact the EBIC team at support@evergreenbioinnovation.com to resolve the issue.
