Public Sticky notes

France was once a true leader in pharmaceutical R&D, but the nation of Pasteur “has seen its contribution of new drug launches fall from around 50 in 1985-89 to just 12 in 1990-94.” Since 1994, the picture for pharmaceutical innovation in France has not improved much and the French government finally took note: in 2004, it began seeking advice on ways to make France more receptive for bio-tech investment.
