Career The Swedish biotech and pharma industry has grown with +10% per year during period 1995-2003. Do we have a future? Kommentarer-Fakta Kommentarer-Fakta Antalet direkt anställda inom läkemedel,bioteknik samt medicinteknik har ökat till ca 41 000 2004 Med rådgivare, underleverantörer mm är närmare 100 000 svenskar aktiva inom bioteknik/livsvetenskap industrin Den årliga tillväxten i antal anställda är knappt cirka 10 procent Antalet anställda i industrin har fördubblats i snitt var tionde år Samtidigt utexamineras från forskarutbildningen årligen ca 300 från Bioteknik linjen och ca 150 kemister! Klarar industrin detta? Vilken kompetens krävs i framtiden? Brutto exporten för branschen beräknas till ca 70 miljarder årligen 2003. Enbart AstraZeneca exporterar för ca 40 miljarder 2004 (16% av den totala svenska netto exporten) Den svenska bruttoexporten av trä, papper och massa var 2004 ca 100 miljarder Källa: Statistiska Centralbyrån, SwedenBIO analys feb-04
Summary Good, but what s in it for me? Sweden has the potential to keep and expand a leading life science industry We now have a national strategy for the sector supported by the government and the industry Positive outlook: The financial situation has improved the past years The science base has progressed maturing pipeline We see some Swedish biotech s acquire for growth Positive stock market But we wait to see the big deal to come through A Skype deal, creating the Swedish equivalent to Genentech or Amgen. Life science offer exciting and high quality jobs competence counts!
My own experience-14 years in executive positions for Pharmacia Biotech, Amersham Biosciences and GE Healthcare I ve six basic advises; 1. Make sure that you finish your basic education asap. Don t hang around! 2. If you continue your academic career, make sure you do it at a top ranked institute (Sweden is no limitation) and mentored by a professor who has excellent connections with the industry and top scientists in the world. 3. If not, go directly to the industry. But before that, or in parallel, make sure you add basic finance and international marketing to your education. 4. In the beginning, be pragmatic, take what is offered. The importance is that you get started and build network. Be visible, positive and open for change! 5. Get international experience, go abroad. The industry is global! 6. Decide quickly, do I want to become a specialist or a generalist. This is important and will point out your professional future.
Thanks and Good Luck!
