テキサス・メディカル・センター(TMC)は、世界最大の医療センターとして知られ、その規模と科学的厳密さで際立っています。テキサス州ヒューストンに位置するこの「医療都市」には、54を超える医療機関、21の病院、8つの研究機関、4つの医科大学があり、医療専門家や研究者は10万人以上、年間受入患者数も1,000万件以上に及びます。
TMCには、がん治療の世界的リーダーであるMDアンダーソンがんセンターや、テキサス大学健康科学センター、ベイラー医科大学が位置し、基礎研究から臨床応用まで一貫した活動を行っています。また、多数のライフサイエンス・インキュベーターやアクセラレーター、研究施設や事務所の提供、医療・科学分野の人材、KOL、CRO、CMO、投資家、助成金制度、ネットワーキングなど、包括的な経営資源が提供されています。
ボストンやサンフランシスコのような都市と比較しても、ヒューストンの生活費や事業費ははるかに安いものとなっています。また、テキサス州は長年にわたりビジネスに適した税制上・規制上の優遇措置を講じており、スタートアップ企業にとって近年ますます魅力的な選択肢となっています。しかしながら、日本のライフサイエンスコミュニティでは、これらヒューストンが提供する貴重なリソースについてほとんど知られていません。日本のベンチャーが米国での事業展開、臨床試験の機会を求める中、ヒューストンは有力な事業拠点の選択肢となりうるでしょう。
ヒューストンの医療コミュニティとの協力や投資は、最先端技術へのアクセス、米国での共同研究や臨床試験の機会、商業展開などをもたらします。同時に、TMCで開発された技術や製品を日本市場に導入することは、新たなビジネスチャンスを生み出します。グローバルな技術拠点を結びつけ、国際的なライフサイエンス・エコシステムを構築することで、これらの革新と商業成長の可能性が拓けるものと期待されます。
