California State University, Los Angeles had finally advanced a new venture, by declaring that it had just received a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration to support entrepreneurial enterprises at the LA BioSpace incubator who had been provided a space under the Rongxiang Xu Bioscience Innovation Center, where the whole event took place.

It will make the interested students learn strategies to compete in the production.
According to Vice President Jose A. Gomez, who also heads the LA BioSpace Advisory Board, this program will facilitate students and faculty "to work with entrepreneurs to put Los Angeles at the forefront of the bioscience industry" which will "create jobs and new opportunities for the communities we serve".
According to President of Cal State LA, William A. Covino bioscience industries are "creating new technologies, new companies, and new employment opportunities", which have given lots of assurance to the whole region.

These will lead to development of some brand new groundbreaking firms in community, which will help to create more job opportunities and thus, also vitalizing economy.
