Tax & Capital Formation Challenges for the Biotechnology Industry

Supporting the biotechnology industry's growth has been central to BIO's mission since the organization's founding in 1993. That growth begins with the success of individual biotech companies, most of which are small businesses.

A majority employ 50 people or fewer and have yet to turn a profit, according to a 2003 U.S. Commerce Department survey.

Making such business models work requires the support of larger industrial partners, investors, and government laws and regulations that encourage and reward innovation.
