Expert Class - Partnerships: How partnering can support R&D and market access

banner
Successful partnerships and strategic alliances have significantly contributed to life sciences product development and healthcare. From drug discovery, medical device development, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and approval to a host of other regulatory and legal issues and post approval marketing efforts, companies have worked together to bring innovative products or therapies to market that help improve patients’ lives. In this Expert Class we will discuss how partnerships between larger established (pharma) companies and smaller biotech- and medtech companies or academic institutions can help your product development, the various types of life science partnership models, what these agreements entail, how to find the right partner and how to manage them.

The expert class program is set up in an interactive way such that the participants are asked to present in 3 slides their company and shareholder related question(s) for the experts. The experts will give you feedback on your questions.
