Abstract

On October 9, 2008, Les Affaires titled "Biotechs on the verge of extinction". According to the article, Quebec biotechnology companies own two and a half times less capital than their counterparts in the rest of Canada. Less than two years later, the biopharmaceutical sector in Quebec is at the top of venture capital investment, with $38 million financing seven Quebec companies in the second quarter of 2010 (Chaurette and Béïque, 2010). Will this influx of money succeed in pulling the industry out of its slump? Le 9 octobre 2008, Les Affaires titre : « Les biotechs en voie de disparition ». Selon l’article, les entreprises québécoises de biotechnologie possèdent deux fois et demie moins de capital que leurs homologues du reste du Canada. Moins de deux ans plus tard, au Québec, le secteur biopharmaceutique arrive en tête des investissements provenant du capital de risque, avec 38 millions de dollars finançant sept entreprises québécoises au deuxième trimestre de 2010 (Chaurette et Béïque, 2010). Cet influx d’argent réussira-t-il à tirer l’industrie de son marasme?
