Collaborations are becoming increasingly important in the healthcare industry to bring complex innovations—such as novel drugs, medical technology, or diagnostics—to market more quickly.
In this event, experts from research, industry, and regulatory bodies will demonstrate how collaborations pool expertise across the value chain, shorten product and application development times, enable faster scaling, and enhance the security of supply for patients.
What can you expect?
Best practices, use cases, and discussions on successful collaboration models across the entire value chain of the healthcare industry.
The focus is on proposed solutions to specific key questions and obstacles:
- Research & Development – Achieving More Together:
“How can public-private partnerships accelerate the development of new active ingredients?”
“How can long-standing partnerships advance point-of-care diagnostics?” - Collaboration in Scaling, Production, and Supply Chains:
“How can strategic partnerships be used as an alternative to the ‘one-stop shop’ strategy?”
“How can new business models be developed collaboratively among research institutions, startups, and industry partners?” - Time to Market, Product Lifecycles, and Regulation:
“How can strategic partnerships accelerate and simplify the commercialization of complex biopharmaceuticals for patients?”
Presentations, discussions, roundtables, and networking
