Some hard numbers reveal the paradox: the EU has a highly developed research sector vs. the EU is a region with a challenging commercialization environment compared to other global leaders.
Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing research and innovation sectors in the world today, and the European Union plays a significant role in this process. Over the past decade, the number of biotechnology researchers in the EU has nearly doubled, from approximately 42,000 in 2012 to over 81,000 in 2021, and the share of employment in this field has reached 17.2% of total R&D employment. These figures confirm that Europe has a strong scientific base and is systematically building capacity in technologies critical to health, industry, and food security.

According to an analysis by lawyers from KG LEGAL KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI, legal concepts such as incident and cyberattack are key elements in the EU cybersecurity and data protection law ecosystem. The fragmentation of cybersecurity law into various sectoral legal acts necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the coherence of all the legal acts comprising this ecosystem. This article demonstrates that the legal layer of cybersecurity in an incident is a highly sensitive issue from the perspective of the responsibility to protect, and therefore, responsible entities should examine the differences in the legal scope of application of individual acts. These concepts are intuitively understood but in legal practice are only superficially identical and lead to different regulatory obligations. The following summary is original and creative and can be used by entities to properly analyze their obligations under current EU law.
