A later report on the pandemic year
The original article appeared in October 2020, before the full year's evidence was available. In its later release of 22 April 2021, the Innovation Authority reports 0.6% growth in high-tech employment during 2020, while identifying greater pressure on small companies and hardware-based sectors. The release also discusses limits and survival bias in the survey. It is a retrospective source, not proof that the outlook was uniformly positive in October.

Capital and operating performance are separate
For a company-level assessment, examine the financing date and instrument separately from sales, cash collection, staffing and product delivery. A successful round does not prove that a medical product works or that demand will persist. Unsupported quarterly totals, individual financing claims and medical-product assertions from the earlier article have been removed from this corrected edition.
