Austria has been a pioneer in the field of life sciences for several years. Global players, excellent research facilities and young dynamic start-ups provide excellent conditions for the further development of this important sector. This is perfectly illustrated in the fourth volume of ‘Life Sciences in Austria’. More than seven years ago, BIOCOM and its partner Austria Wirt- schaftsservice GmbH (aws) began the ambitious undertaking of capturing a complete statis- tical picture of the Austrian life sciences, and to create a comprehensive overview of the entire sector. This comprises addresses and contacts of all the relevant stakeholders in science and in- dustry. The data presented in the first pages of this reference book was collected through inten- sive research and on the basis of a survey conducted by BIOCOM AG on behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs (BMDW) and aws. The directory section of the book gives an up-to-date and detailed snapshot of the life science sector in Austria (1,447 records), and comprises the following chapters: Chapter I: Research, Development and Manufacturing Companies (375 records) – Biotech/Pharma Sector (206) – Medical Device Sector (169) Chapter II: Suppliers in the Life Sciences (235) Chapter III: Service Providers in the Life Sciences (334) Chapter IV: Sales and Distribution Companies in the Life Sciences (380) – Biotech/Pharma Sector (92) – Medical Device Sector (288) Chapter V: Organizations in the Life Sciences (63) Chapter VI: Research and Education Institutions in the Life Sciences (60) BIOCOM AG and aws are proud to present ‘Life Sciences in Austria 2019’, which will enable all stakeholders in biotechnology, pharma and medical devices to better connect with each other. You can find more detailed information at: www.lifescienceaustria.at. With this directory, we hope to provide a significant input for the future development of the Austrian life sciences. 5 Life Science Report Austria – Summary 7 life.science.report.austria.2018 1. Life Science Report Austria 2018 Life Science Sector in Austria The life sciences have a long history in Austria. This tradition forms the basis of a dynamic scene of researchers, clinicians and entrepreneurs. Today, an excellent network of renowned academic institutions, global players, family-owned businesses and innovative start-ups has been established and ties between science and industry have been strengthened to improve the innovation outcome for the society. Thus, all stakeholders in the Austrian life sciences contribute to a highly attractive sector. However, the system is facing numerous challenges. Whether it is the aging of society, di- gitalization, the increasing cost pressures in healthcare systems or climate change – the life sciences are considered to be among the key technologies for providing solutions. Situated in the middle of Europe, Austria has taken advantage of its geographical location to be a fore- runner of innovation. Austria’s life science industry in figures With 917 companies active in biotechnology, pharma or the medical devices business, life sci- ences are an important and constantly growing part of the Austrian economy. 11.4% more businesses were located in Austria in 2017 compared to 2014. In 2017, these companies were responsible for a turnover of 22.4 billion euros. From 2014, revenues increased quite substanti- ally by 17.2%. The life science companies also employ a large chunk of the Austrian workforce. In 2017, more than 55,000 people earned a living working for an Austrian life science company, which means an increase of 7.4% compared to 2014. The life science industry in Austria is fully diversified and essentially consists of two equally important subsegments: biotechnology and pharma on the one hand, and medical devices on the other. Although there are more companies in the medical device sector (554 companies) 2012 2014 2017 Number of companies in the life science industry 723 823 917 Number of employees in the life science industry 50,180 51,660 55,480 Turnover in the life science industry EUR 17.73 bn EUR 19.11 bn EUR 22.4 bn Number of research and education institutions active in life sciences n.a. 55 55 Number of life science employees in research and education institutions n.a. 19,830 21,145 Key figures of the life science sector in Austria 2012, 2014, 2017 8 life.science.report.austria.2018 than in the biotech and pharma sector (363 companies), both employ a similar number of people. As far as turnover is compared, biotechnology and pharma is the stronger field with revenues of 13.97 billion euros in 2017, while the turnover in the medical devices industry was at 8.44 billion euros. In conclusion, the key figures show that the life sciences are an impor- tant pillar of the Austrian economy. Whether it is with respect to research, development and manufacturing or to suppliers, service providers, sales and distribution specialists – the sec- tor has established itself as an outstanding driver of economic growth and innovation and a creator of jobs. Strong foundation in research and teaching The healthy economic development of the life sciences is supported by a dense network of internationally renowned research and teaching expertise. A total of 55 institutions are fully dedicated to life science research or have significant activities in this field. Altogether, more than 21,000 life sciences related employees are working at 17 universities, 13 universities of applied sciences and 25 non-university research institutes, building the innovative foundation of the Austrian life science sector as a whole. Besides high-quality research, the academic institutions also provide the sector with well-trained people, representing a strong pillar in the country’s educational system. In 2017, the total number of life science students at univer- sities and universities of applied science accounted to more than 67,000, and close to 7,750 students graduated.
