Morphology
biotech = biotechnology (semi-transparent) = bio + tech
The form is still recognizable as a clipping of biotechnology, but the company/industry meaning is a metonymic extension of that base.
Etymology
Biotech joins bio- ('life') and tech ('technology'), so a biotech company is a 'tech' company that works with living things. That's why today biotech often means the companies or the industry that develop medicines and better crops from biology.
