BIOTECH
WHY DENMARK?
”Danish export of medical products amounts to EUR17 billion annually, and pharmaceutical R&D accounts for 21% of the total Danish private research spending. We also have the world’s highest percentage of patents in biotechnology, and our biotech sector is ranked second in the world. And, with more than 40,000 people employed across more than 160 dedicated biotech companies, Denmark is a life science powerhouse. So my advice is clear: Consider Denmark.”
– Sophie LøhdeMinister for Health
#1”Denmark is the best country in Europe (no. 2 in the world) for the development of biotechnology”
– Scientific American, 2015
