By Enrich.chat Editorial. Updated October 22, 2026. **Short answer:** NAICS 541714 is the code for Research and Development in Biotechnology (Except Nanobiotechnology), in sector 54: Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. The companies counted under it are mostly very small: 53% have 50 or fewer employees, and 83% are headquartered in the United States. ## What is NAICS 541714? NAICS 541714 is the code for Research and Development in Biotechnology (Except Nanobiotechnology). It belongs to sector 54: Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. NAICS, the North American Industry Classification System, is the standard U.S. government agencies use to sort businesses by what they mainly do, and each digit narrows the category. Most of the companies counted also carry SIC 8731, Commercial physical research, in the older SIC system (95%).
