GSK plans to lay off up to 1,217 employees in Belgium across R&D, manufacturing, and support functions as part of its global cost-saving program aimed at reallocating capital towards late-stage pipeline projects and achieving £1.9 billion in annual savings by 2029.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your Belgian biotech operations face pressure as GSK cuts jobs and limits vaccine production capacity, signalling tighter competition for local suppliers and talent. Prepare to pivot or engage clients impacted by their shifts in R&D and manufacturing focus.
