The Biotech and Pharmaceutical business. The relationship between Biotech companies and Pharmaceutical companies are quite important to identify at this stage. Pharmaceutical companies can be generics can be principles and Biotech companies can be Biotech and biosimilar, but it's always about how these relationships between the two industries or the two types of companies would impact each other's business. Biotech is a new industry when it's compared to pharmaceutical companies, they can substitute pharmaceuticals in the future, pharmaceuticals as it stands now, they are the engines of the healthcare sector. Both of them require huge investments. Both of them they invest in the R&D and they are basically very profitable, but the Biotech they invest in blue ocean and they are trying just to be pioneer and innovative in different aspects of the business whereas Pharmaceutical, they are hypercompetitive. They substitute each other and they outsource when it's compared to Biotech companies. How the Biotech companies and Pharmaceutical companies interact with each other in the marketplace is very important for us to understand because that is basically where the history will going to be written and in the future will define the directions of both type of industries.
