2015 was a record year for capital raising and investment in biotechnology & medical technology in Australia. Worldwide the investment landscape is experiencing sweeping, disruptive change, with increases in private investing, a dominance of Venture Capital and Angel investments and the ascendancy of equity crowd-funding.
