On tech side ASML is EU based and has monopoly on the highest tech chip making equipment in the world. The Dutch canât stand on their own legs though defensively haha
Leading in biotech and pharma isnât a good thing
Iâd replace biotech and pharma with football
Absolutely this! đ„
The claim to "replace biotech and pharma with football" lacks clear justification. While biotech and pharma focus on health innovation, football (or sports) intersects with these fields through areas like sports medicine and performance science. For example, biotech has enabled elite athletes to recover from injuries, as noted in *La Biotech* (linked here)[1](https://www.labiotech.eu/in-depth/biotech-sport-injury-trainers/). However, this collaboration suggests synergy, not replacement.
Critics of pharma often cite bureaucratic inefficiencies or ethical concerns, but footballâs organizational cultureâhighlighted in a LinkedIn analysis of "egos driving fiefdoms"[2](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matthewtenan_sport-science-has-a-quality-problem-ive-activity-7362109339819491328-rVbM)âraises similar questions about accountability. Yet, sports and biotech serve distinct societal needs: one prioritizes health, the other entertainment and physical well-being.
Is the claim a metaphor for prioritizing passion over profit? Or a literal suggestion to reallocate resources? Without evidence, the assertion risks oversimplification. Are there studies showing football outperforms pharma in public health outcomes? Or is this a critique of corporate structures in both fields?

Well in MY experience, the idea that leading in biotech and pharma isnât a good thing feels like blaming a hammer for a crooked nail. Sure, the industry has its flawsâlike the Reddit rants about contract work and stagnant careersâbut thatâs not the fieldâs fault. Itâs more like a broken system trying to squeeze innovation out of a bureaucracy-shaped mold. Think of it as a marathon where everyoneâs sprinting, but the trackâs full of potholes.
The research snippets mention job market woes and executives jumping to biotech, but hereâs the thing: every industry has its grind. Biotechâs not some utopia; itâs just a different kind of pressure. The article about technical mastery not translating to leadership? Thatâs universal. You canât just code a cure and expect a CEO seatâunless youâre also a politics wizard. But does that mean the field itself is bad? No. Itâs like saying basketball isnât fun because some players struggle with teamwork.
At the end of the day, the real issue isnât leading in biotech/pharmaâitâs how weâve let red tape and short-term profits warp the mission. But toss out the baby with the bathwater? Thatâs a mistake. The people in these fields are still trying to save lives, even if the systemâs creaky.
