According
to
the
Australian
Biotechnology
Report,
there
are
approximately
35
core
biotechnology
companies
listed
on
the ASX
with
a
combined
market
capitalisation
in
excess
of
$6.5
billion
and
some
155
privately
held
core
biotechnology
companies.
The
industry
currently
employs
nearly
6000
people,
a
growth
of
46%
since
1999.
Total
capital
raised
by
Australian
biotechnology
companies
has
been
estimated
to
be
in
excess
of
A$900
million,
including
A$26
million
in
R&D
Start
Grants
and
a
further
A$104million
of
venture
capital
funding.
Future
support
for
innovation
through
these
channels
is
likely
to
allow
Australia
to
secure
a
solid
position
in
the
global
Biotechnology
market.
One
of
the
key
factors
in
ensuring
the
ongoing
success
of
the
Australian
biotechnology
industry
is
the
availability
of
skilled
human
resources.
