Europe (EU, UK, Switzerland, non-EU Europe) non-medical biotech — seed market map (DRAFT, unverified)

Drafted 2026-10-05 by an agent to seed the eu_gb_biotech_research dataset. Gap-led: most companies were chosen because they supply products that the vault’s articles need but the Africa/ME, LatAm, Asia and USA & Canada datasets lack (codes in brackets refer to articles with an “Honest finding” gap note), or because they lead a vault rubric. Names, URLs, ownership and status are NOT verified here. exa_osint.py check-map (vetting) and status verify every row, and the pipeline finds URLs left as N/A. Scope rules: see ../AGENTS.md. check-map 2026-10-05 removed Meatable (winding down), Verdera (owned by Lallemand, Canada), Biofa (Andermatt subsidiary) and ThermoSeed (Lantmännen subsidiary); the parents stay in the map.
