Master Strategic Alliances in Biopharma to Accelerate Innovation and Competitiveness
Why Strategic Alliances Are Crucial for Biopharma
The biopharmaceutical sector relies on strategic alliances more than most industries, given the high costs and technical risks, regulatory challenges, and extended R&D and regulatory timelines as well as given market opportunities in different regions and countries.
Alliances allow biopharma companies to:
- Share development risks and costs.
- Access novel intellectual property, know how and specialised expertise.
- Expand market reach and leverage local knowledge and capabilities in global markets.
- Accelerate research and development and regulatory approvals by pooling resources and expertises.
- Bring innovative therapies to patients more quickly and efficiently.
- Validate their technologies and attract investment opportunities.
However, the complexity of these partnerships requires a clear alliance framework to navigate the opportunities and challenges of bringing different organisations to create joint value and deliver it to customers and patients.
This Alliance Masterclass is designed to equip biopharma leaders, business development teams, alliance and R&D managers with the strategies they need to build, manage, and scale alliances that drive breakthrough results. Whether you’re looking to accelerate drug andor technology development, expand your market presence, or enhance your product portfolio, this masterclass provides a proven framework to succeed in the complex landscape of biopharma partnerships.
This Masterclass will change the way you work with alliances & partnerships, forever.
