Britain has for long been a favorite for the European Headquarters of US companies.

But it is still a favorite with companies from Middle America and the Japanese. The availability of an outstanding Japanese school in the center of London makes it an easy choice for Japanese executives.

France

France has recently become another center for biological and pharmaceutical research in Europe. As one American executive put it: “As we looked throughout Europe, we noted that France had the most complete legal basis and regulatory program of any country in Europe.” Despite a lot of rhetoric against Frances political stance, many American life science and bio engineering companies select France as a European research base for its well educated and committed workforce, including a large network of well trained physicians and investigators. France is the 2nd largest pharmaceutical market in Europe and has a national drug agency that is very influential on the rest of Europe."

Scandinavian countries have often been judged too expensive by international companies to set up regional headquarters. The problem is generally taxation, because Scandinavia has superb education systems and a balanced social climate. This later elements have become a more important feature, since getting good and well educated people is becoming harder. The high quality of life is also appreciated by employees stationed there.
