Sartorius, Defence Therapeutics, QIAGEN - Still long potential
Since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, biotech and pharmaceutical shares have been among the top performers on the stock market. In addition to vaccine producers such as BioNTech and Pfizer, the share price of the US pharmaceutical Company Moderna also multiplied. Other winners included diagnostics companies and laboratory equipment suppliers, process technology specialists and manufacturers of biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals promise enormous growth potential even after Corona, especially the market such as gene and cell therapies is growing dynamically at the moment.

Bayer, Sativa Wellness Group, MorphoSys - Can the pharmaceutical industry benefit from the new German government?
The federal election is over, and the pharmaceutical industry has to adjust to the new political constellation. The industry is facing change. Digitization is an important topic. To not lose even more researchers to foreign countries, approval processes must be accelerated and bureaucracy reduced. If we always acted as decisively as we did during the pandemic, much more could be achieved. The new federal government is flirting with the legalization of cannabis. If this were to happen, the market would probably be huge. The next four years promise to be exciting.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac: A decade's worth of ideas!
Biotechnology remains a hotly contested industry. In the fight against a wide range of diseases, biopharmaceuticals are the first port of call. It studies the relationship between drugs and excipients' chemical and physical properties and their form of administration in a living organism. By directly applying findings from biology and biochemistry, technically functional elements are identified. The central objectives are to research, improve and develop processes for the production of relevant substances. Often research goes nowhere; we take a look at the sector.

Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - When will things pick up again?
Biotechnology companies can experience a significant, sometimes even exponential, increase in value virtually overnight with a new, successful active ingredient. BioNTech is a prime example of this. But not every research effort leads to success, and CureVac shareholders can tell you a thing or two about that. Canada's Defence Therapeutics and Valneva have innovative research pipelines. Where should investors consider investing now?

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, Formycon - Close to the bio-revolution!
Portugal is one of the countries with the highest vaccination rate, with 86% of the population already vaccinated. Approximately 98% of those eligible for vaccination - including everyone over the age of 12 - have been vaccinated. Germany, with about 64%, is one of the more vaccine-weary nations. What is the secret of the Portuguese? The government relied on an opinion maker from within its ranks, Admiral Gouveia e Melo. An expert in complicated logistical tasks in the military, he was appointed in February as the top leader of the national vaccination campaign. He is never seen without his military combat uniform in numerous public television appearances - and when asked how other countries can move their own vaccination effort forward, the admiral did not hesitate to offer his best advice: "You have to find people who are not politicians." Where are the current opportunities in the vaccination sector?

Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech - New vaccines needed against Corona
Johnson & Johnson's new study shows the booster vaccine improves protection against severe Corona disease by 75%. According to the New York Times, the Company plans to seek approval for the booster vaccine. While the FDA has already approved BioNTech's booster vaccine for those over 65, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have yet to receive approvals. Those are on the agency's Oct. 14 and 15 meeting schedule. BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin stressed to the Financial Times that there must always be new formulations to stop new virus variants.

BioNTech, Sativa Wellness Group, Aurora Cannabis - For the good of humanity
One thing has been brought home to humanity since the outbreak of the Corona Pandemic and the rapid development of vaccines - Science and research are essential in identifying health risks and helping people live long and healthy lives. Young companies, in particular, are discovering alternative treatments through their research and using natural products that have centuries of tradition - with great potential.

Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - Volatility offers good opportunities!
The share prices of the Corona vaccine manufacturers are not growing sky-high after all. Most recently, developments at France's Valneva caused uncertainty. The French Company wanted to bring a Corona vaccine to market by the end of 2021 and had already received an order from the British government for 100 million units. This contract has now been canceled. Where does the industry go from here?

Valneva, Defence Therapeutics, CureVac - Second-tier vaccine makers offer high potential
The battle against the Coronavirus is still ongoing, although more and more people have been vaccinated with vector or mRNA vaccines. In Europe, an average of 60% of all people have received the vaccination. Herd immunity has not yet been achieved, in part because of vaccine skeptics who do not yet trust novel vaccines. New vaccines based on dead viruses promise to remedy the situation. This method has already been tried and tested in influenza vaccinations, for example. According to a study in Switzerland, about 70% of the unvaccinated would still be vaccinated if the method had already been tested. Herd immunity could thus be achieved, and everyday life could return to normal. So, which vaccine manufacturer that does not currently have an approved product could shake up the market?
