From Novo Nordisk and Genmab to Bavarian Nordic and Novozymnes, there is little doubt that the Danish biotech industry is among the world leaders.

And now, for the second year in a row, the Danish biotech sector has been ranked top in Europe and among the top three in the world by the Scientific American Worldview biotech magazine.

As in prior Scientific American Worldview scorecards, the United States ranks at the top of the list for overall innovation, followed by Singapore, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia.
