The Swiss biotech industry can look back upon a successful 2015: net sales of 279 companies increased by 5.1% to 5,133 million Swiss francs ($5.4 billion).
Capital investment increased by one fourth to a record high of 907 million francs. As in previous years, a number of new companies were founded and around400 new jobs created.
