Ipsen is a globally active biotechnology innovator which will greatly enhance the multinational biotechnology industry presence in this country while also sending a strong signal to other international companies that Canada is an important jurisdiction in which to do business. In choosing to launch in Ontario, Ipsen will be able to immediately avail itself to the vibrant biotechnology ecosystem in the province that includes established healthcare organizations, universities, incubator organizations and existing biotechnology companies to support and drive innovation and strengthen the Canadian industry ecosystem more broadly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Andrew Casey, President and CEO, BIOTECanada<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCanada, with its universal and very advanced health system, is a major research and innovation player in the biotechnology sector, and it is hence vital that French businesses are active in the country. This is especially true in the Toronto area, which is the most active in Canada for new developments in biotechnology, and therefore the creation of Ipsen\u2019s new Canadian headquarters here in Mississauga, Ontario, is the best possible choice. It will enable Ipsen to benefit from this dynamic environment and to develop its markets in each Canadian province.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nicolas Chapuis, Ambassador of France to Canada<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Ipsen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ipsen is a global specialty-driven biotechnological group with total sales exceeding \u20ac1.2 billion in 2014.
