The Remarkable Potential of Precision Medicine
Jeff Bluestone, Jerry Brown, Chris Austin, Pradeep, Mike, Stephanie Dosnick, Keith
Led by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and supported by significant global investments, the precision medicine initiative seeks to dismantle siloed research by shifting disease classification from symptoms to shared molecular mechanisms. This strategy leverages rapidly dropping genomic sequencing costs and advanced tools like organ-on-a-chip technology to accelerate drug repurposing and eliminate the 99.9% failure rate of traditional development pipelines. California aims to solidify its role as the global headquarters for this transformation by fostering public-private partnerships that integrate vast health data with agile regulatory frameworks to deliver personalized, preventive therapies.

Global Models for Financing America's Infrastructure
Dale, Stephen Goldsmith, Sam Barron, William Reed, Sarah Clark, Sean Glodek, Mike, Lawrence Gottlieb
A global infrastructure summit highlights a critical $3 trillion U.S. investment gap and the urgent need to shift from public financing to private capital models like Public-Private Partnerships to meet rising demand. Experts contrast the U.S. lag in social infrastructure financing against international success stories from Canada and Russia, emphasizing how structural tax barriers currently prevent institutional investors from accessing stable, long-term yield opportunities. With 41 new projects in the pipeline and emerging legislative pushes to expand tax-exempt tools, the panel anticipates a surge in availability-payment deals that transfer construction risk to the private sector while addressing a significant mismatch between public financing costs and investor return expectations.
