BioNTech said it plans to invest up to 1 billion pounds ($1.34 billion) over the next 10 years to expand its research and development activities for innovative medicines in the U.K.
The German biotechnology company, listed on the U.S. stock exchange, said Tuesday that the expansion will be supported by a 129 million-pound grant from the British government, which will be used to establish two new research and development centers, and U.K. headquarters in London. The first of these centers will be located in Cambridge, while the second is currently being planned.
"These efforts are part of BioNTech's global strategy to advance research and development of innovative cancer immunotherapies aimed at bringing multiple cancer treatments to the market by 2030, if successfully developed and approved," it said.
