Innovation in both Medical technology and the Biotech space has led to high demand and employer competition across Europe.
Billions of Euros worth of private investment continues to flood into the European Biotech sector, evidencing the appeal for businesses to grow their share in this vertical. The Biotech talent space is being disrupted by volume numbers of firms choosing to take products to market and developing fully commercial entities, rather than the orthodox grow to sell model.
