The Biotech Empires
- ghc 10y agoI don't think the person writing this article knows much about biotech. It's as if someone said Austin and Berlin were emerging as the leading software hubs and forgot about the Valley.
- kannan 10y agoI came here to say exactly the same thing. The article completely omits Cambridge/Boston, which IMO belongs in the same league as SF if not a notch a higher.

- Thriptic 10y agoI find it very bizarre that there is no mention of Boston / Cambridge when talking about major biotech hubs.
- dalke 10y agoAgreed. Or San Diego. I also thought the comment "our unique position in micro/nanotechnology coming from a long tradition of watchmaking" was very odd. Basel's long history with the chemistry industry goes back to 1800s, with more influence from the dye industry than than clock making.

- w1ntermute 10y ago> Bérénice Magistretti is a Swiss freelance writer based in San Francisco. That explains the (misguided) focus on just the Bay Area and Switzerland.
