Can You Be Big and Small at Once?

For at least two decades now, Big Pharma has believed in the value of big. But they’ve also seen its downside: bureaucratic paralysis, the burden of growing a substantial top-line, cultural stagnation. And so a number of companies are now trying to have their cake and eat it, too: adding capabilities (through acquisitions) and diversifications while creating therapeutically- or market-focused units capable of making and executing their own investment decisions independent of the mother ship). This way they’ll have the advantages of being big (the financial strength to survive major research and commercial blows, the infrastructure to globally develop and commercialize new opportunities) and small (speed, focus and entrepreneurial excitement). The 19th annual PSA will explore the implications and inherent contradictions of this new bifurcated strategy, how and why companies are pursuing it (or not pursuing it) and its likely effects on biotech and on dealmaking in general.

Who will you meet?

Why attend PSA?

Maximize your strategic alliance opportunities by hearing CEOs, senior R&D and senior business development executives share lessons learned, practical advice and strategies on how to build your R&D pipeline – both internally and externally.

And this September, PSA offers you an unbeatable line-up of Big Pharma and biotech speakers to forecast trends and analyze changes in alliances and M&A. You’ll hear from, and be able to quiz, top industry executives and dealmakers.
