Health biotechnologies in the Paris region

The Institut Paris Region tallied 250 humanhealth biotech establishments in its namesake (including service providers, contract research, development and manufacturing organizations, and bioinformatics entities). These businesses are distributed across a range of activities, with more than half of them performing R&D in biotech, and a quarter R&D in other physical and natural sciences. Thus, 76% of Paris Region businesses are active in research and development. The remaining businesses are also often involved in health or–importantly for the sector–in bioinformatics.
