According to the ASEBIO 2019 report, Spain remains a powerful region in terms of biotechnology and Research & Development efforts. The country counts with nearly 3000 companies working on biotechnological activities. More than 47% are dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry, followed by 38% related to the food sector. In addition, Spain keeps fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, and last year a great impulse was appreciated:

  • 95% of the companies are very small or small, with less than 50 employees.
  • 2019 has witnessed an increase in R&D investment, reaching over 100 Million Euro.
  • The publication and patent filling numbers have also increased over the last years.

In addition, Spain counts with several competence centers spread all over the territory, which together with the entrepreneurial tendency leaves the country in a great position in terms of competitiveness.
