And good science doesn’t always make a successful company: there are other factors involved such as business plans funding marketing and capable management. Considering our size as a nation Scotland has built a remarkable global reputation in life sciences although despite having consistently punched well above our weight we don’t have an indigenous Amgen AstraZeneca or Novartis. Dr Barbara Blaney the director of the BioIndustry Association in Scotland says Scotland mustn’t rest on it laurels and must find ways of funding academic and clinical research so that Scotland has the best chance of bringing commercially viable products to the global market. Venture capitalists angel investors and Scottish Enterprise continue to play a critical role in funding the gaps for Scotland’s science. Meantime the credit crunch has focused the minds of the life science industry on future funding. A sense of realism prevails. Blaney is encouraged by Scotland’s angel investor community which is keeping alive a lot of exciting young companies.

And foreign investment has shown a remarkable increase in recent years. Ironically Gulf countries awash with high returns on the sale of oil have yet to take advantage of an educated labor pool and invest heavily in this growing economy. And as with the aspirations of the Saudi ambassador in Pakistan we too wished well for our Pakistani hosts for they do have a country that should make Pakistanis everywhere proud and more determined to develop their political participation in a positive manner. It is their country and they should all join hands under the crescent and the star the symbol of their flag to ensure a secure and stable government free from personal agendas.
