Article Abstract:
The source of biotechnology-derived products in healthcare that reveals an almost complete dependence in three key markets of the USA, UK and Germany on products developed by entrepreneurial biotechnology firms is analyzed. The growing public perception of possible problems with biotechnologies and its operations in the knowledge driven clusters that bring 'big pharma' into uncertain relations with governmental bodies are described.
