Their activities were complemented by 15 other companies with a biotechnological commitment, mostly global players in the field of pharmaceuticals, chemicals or seed production. Since these companies are active in many diverse areas, their biotech related business figures cannot be calculated exactly and are not included in Fig. 5: Source of Financing of dedicated NRW the following statistics.
