DIA 2018 Global Annual Meeting

Component Type: Forum
Level: Intermediate
CE: CME 1.00; IACET 1.00; RN 1.00

In the pharmaceutical and biotech industry today the scope for and the breadth of stakeholders is expanding. Today’s development networks are emerging as consortiums that freely share learnings and experiences in order to make the best therapeutic development strategies. Yet, there is still more to do to identify and leverage our available knowledge networks. In this forum we will focus on strategies to best collaborate for novel therapeutic development.

Additionally this forum will also cover specific product investing. Unlike healthcare technology, most angel investors categorically dismiss medical product investing – especially for drug products. There are ways to bridge this gap through better preparation and understanding. In this forum we will also discuss common threads of deals angels invest in, the ones they don’t and how they make those decisions. Items such as the product, the team, deal structure, expected return, time to return, drugs vs. devices, regulatory strategy and life cycle management.
