Biotechnology company
A biotechnology company, commonly called a biotech or biotec, is a company whose products or services primarily use biotechnology methods for their production, design or delivery.
The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines 'biotechnology' as: "Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use."[1] In other words, biotechnology can be defined as the mere application of technical advances in life science to develop commercial products.

BioPharmGuy was launched in 2008 covering worldwide biotech companies and is freely accessible[2] Biotechgate has existed since 2004 and runs on a subscription model. [3] BioDirecta is European-focused directory in existence since 2014. The directory is freely accessible and focuses on biotech patents. [4]
