Employees in Bavaria's Life<br />
Science industry<br />
In addition to the 3470 employees in the small and mediumsized<br />
biotechnology companies there are almost about<br />
5230 employees working in the branches and subsidiaries<br />
of international biotechnology companies; almost 4400<br />
alone are working for Roche in Penzberg (an increase of<br />
260 in 2007).<br />
In addition, there are a good 5400 employees working for<br />
national and international pharmaceutical and health care<br />
companies. It was mainly the international pharmaceutical<br />
corporations that, by cutting the number of staff by around<br />
600, stalled a more significant growth in the overall number<br />
of employees working for the Bavarian Life Science industry<br />
in 2007. Apart from this, a not inconsiderable percentage of<br />
local Life Science jobs are offered by CROs: Approximately<br />
another 1200 people are employed in this sector (an<br />
increase of 140).<br />

While most of the Bavarian <strong>Biotech</strong><br />
companies employ between 1-50 staff<br />
members (85% of the SMEs), the<br />
majority of biotech employees work<br />
for the 19 greater companies with<br />
staff numbers over 50 (58% of total<br />
employees).<br />
The total number of employees in 2007 in the Life Science<br />
industry came to around 15,000. And this figure does not<br />
even include laboratory suppliers, other service providers<br />
and other professions, such as financial institutions, lawyers<br />
or consultants working for the biotech and pharma industries.<br />
Along with these jobs in industry, there are almost 20.000<br />
employees working in the Life Science field at Bavarian<br />
research institutes. Thus, the entire sector offers almost/<br />
approximately 35.000 jobs in science and industry in<br />
Bavaria.<br />
Within the group of biotech SMEs, most of the people are<br />
employed in therapeutics and/or diagnostics companies and<br />
their corresponding platform-technology providers. 1670<br />
people are employed in this sector, i.e. around 48 % of all<br />
employees in Bavarian biotech SMEs.<br />
An overview of company sizes in Bavarian enterprises is<br />
shown above.<br />
