Regulators' Misguided Efforts
Regulators' efforts to foster competition and innovation in the tech industry are misguided, according to the authors of an article. The authors argue that these actions reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of the dynamics at play in technological competition and innovation, and could lead to the stagnation of technological advancements. The article highlights the tri-tiered nature of competition and innovation, with the foundation being competition for creating novel product categories or ecosystems, the intermediate tier being the rivalry between ecosystems, and the edge being competition among components within an ecosystem. The article argues that regulators should focus on the more fundamental levels of competition, rather than the marginal level, and that regulation should be informed by a deeper understanding of innovation dynamics.
API Innovation Center and Apertus Pharmaceuticals have partnered to produce lomustine, a drug used to treat brain tumors, using continuous manufacturing technology.

The partners were awarded $9.5 million from the Missouri Technology Corporation's Advanced Manufacturing Resiliency Grant Program last year. The partnership is in response to shortages of cancer drugs in the U.S. and the push to "on-shore" more drug manufacturing in the U.S. after the COVID-19 pandemic.
