Novo Holdings, the controlling shareholder of Danish obesity drugmaker Novo Nordisk, said on Wednesday it planned to invest around $200 million in quantum computing startups. The company, the investment arm of the Novo Nordisk Foundation, has 77% of voting shares in Novo Nordisk, which is known for producing blockbuster obesity drug Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic.

Denmark will start putting patients suffering from type 2 diabetes on cheaper drugs before prescribing so-called GLP-1 drugs such as Novo Nordisk's Ozempic, the Danish Medicines Agency said on Wednesday. In 2023, 50% of new patients suffering from type 2 diabetes began treatment with a reimbursed GLP-1 drug without trying a cheaper alternative first, the Medicines Agency said. Demand for Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug Ozempic has soared as many people have started using the diabetes drug for its weight-loss effects.
