CCRM Industry Partnership Evolution: Structure, Optimize & Enhance Partner Engagement
Why Now?
CCRM’s investments in process development, manufacturing, and company creation are driving the need for an expanded engagement model with our industry network.
Industry Anchor Partners: a select group of major industry/ecosystem players engaged with CCRM to accomplish the shared goal of building new capabilities and/or infrastructure that will benefit the regenerative medicine ecosystem. Cytiva is CCRM’s main industry anchor partner. Cytiva is CCRM’s leading technology development partner, committing $20M to seed the Centre for Advanced Therapeutic Cell Technologies (CATCT) and later providing an additional $15M. This partnership has established product & process development capabilities that serve a critical need in the regenerative medicine ecosystem. Our goals for engagement with anchor partners are to drive forward critical projects, tell the story of our success to the broader community, and create a long-term plan for continued partnership.
Industry Premier Partners: companies actively engaged with CCRM in significant contract service work for product and process development and/or manufacturing, as well as companies in which CCRM currently holds equity stakes. Our goals for engagement with premier partners are to deliver high-quality, reputation-building services, explore new ways our commercialization platform can grow their business by better understanding their needs, and partner for the advancement of new therapies/tools.
Industry Spotlight Partners: companies that maintain a business relationship with CCRM by sponsoring our events (e.g. annual Till and McCulloch Meetings), engaging in contract service work or partnering on critical projects to support the broader community. Our goals for engagement with spotlight partners are to offer high-quality services, look for opportunities to increase engagement, and provide increased visibility for these companies in the regenerative medicine ecosystem.

Industry Ecosystem Partners: a diverse and expanding cohort of companies who are interested in learning about regenerative medicine and finding opportunities to boost interactions within the community. Our goals for engagement with ecosystem partners are to stay connected, provide information about CCRM’s activities and others within the community, and facilitate engagement with the broader regenerative medicine ecosystem.
