| Reflecting the reality in which the global biotechnology industry now operates, Ernst & Young's Global Health Sciences Group recently launched the latest of their well-known regional biotechnology industry reports as a single global document at the recent annual international BIO Convention in Toronto in June. Beyond Borders - The Global Biotechnology Industry Report 2002, or 'global book' as those who have become familiar with this excellent publication describe it, is an extremely useful report for all interested participants in today's biotechnology marketplace. It is to be applauded for capturing not only the most up-to-date benchmark data on growth and financing trends but also the essence of the most pertinent issues for the global biopharma sector today.Assembled from knowledge researched within the different regional territories of Ernst & Young's Global Health Sciences Team, the report is divided into two sections. The first, The Global Marketplace, sets out data and trends from the global industry principally represented by the 25 countries that have fostered the growth of the sector and which are also responsible for 79 per cent of global gross domestic product. |
