France is trying to reverse a brain drain, especially in the field of sciences, and wants other countries to stop stealing their researchers, Health Minister Francois Braun said on Tuesday.
The government has earmarked €7.5 billion ($8 billion) to bolster health innovation by 2030, with plans to create more hubs that bring together researchers, clinicians, biotech firms and larger drugmakers, along the model that has flourished in places such as Cambridge, Massachusetts.
