 Why
Outsource to Thailand?
 The
next wave of outsourcing in biotechnology, with firms short of staff in
the U.S. and plentiful, cheap and well-trained technicians in several
Asian destinations. India and China are the giants of the field,
and
like them thailand offers skilled technicians and research assistants
at a quarter or less of U.S. salaries combined with access to low-cost
equipment and facilities. Thailand has several advantages
over its
larger competitors, however, in that Thailand hasn't received much
biotech invest to date and as a result has a large surplus of biotech
graduates, compared to Bangalore where headhunting is common and
turnover among biotech firms approaches 25% annually. Thailand
also
has much better infrastructure than China or India, from basic
utilities to internet access. combined with generous tax
incentives
for new firms (8 years automatic total tax holiday, extendable to 5
years) and strong support from the Thai government, U.S. biotechs can
realize massive cost savings while establishing a new outpost to
service China, India and Japan as well as their home U.S. and E.U.
markets.
