Roche study says its Italian operations support jobs and health research
Roche presented a study of its impact in Italy at an event in Rome.
The study was prepared with methodological support from PwC Italy and examines the company’s economic and social effects.
Each euro of direct value added is linked to €2.80 in national GDP impact, according to the study.
It also estimates that every direct Roche employee supports 3.2 jobs across the supply chain and related businesses.
Each euro invested in sponsored clinical studies is estimated to save €2.82 for Italy’s national health service, with total savings put at €94.4 million.
These figures show why the study says biotech investment can affect economic growth, jobs and public health spending beyond the industry itself.
