the combined BMS/Celgene may come close in the future


Other brands like Novartis, Roche (Gene), GSK, AZ are foreign owned


the industry is still fragmented relative to others


Lilly and AbbVie are to small still for the list

Other than tax incentives, I've always wondered why the companies are located where they are?

Where the founder lives, where start-up capital lives, where symbiotic entities exist (materials, collaborating companies, universities)....but eventually HQ locations seems to center on access to the best and most available talent.

Or from another perspective, companies that get huge usually had a location advantage...they wouldn't have grown to 10,000 or 50,000 HQ employees, or cross-germinated with collaborators as successfully, if they weren't in the right city.

Abbvie is very sizable—it’s #42 on the list.
