Benchmark your corporate strategies against the best and the brightest.
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?

-
Meet your potential partner and find out how to approach them
Meet your potential partner and find out how to approach them
-
Understand externalization models and see if your approach fits your potential partner's positioning
-
Benchmark your dealmaking strategy against what your competitors are doing and why
-
Learn the deal values and deal specifics that let you calibrate deal-making metrics
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. Take away the newest strategies and tactics that you can apply to your company’s dealmaking efforts immediately!
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.
PSA gathers top thinkers to grapple with the fundamental challenges facing biotech and pharma – equipping dealmakers like you with the insights, information and practical advice you'll need to strike successful deals. This program will sell out so register early. Space is limited, so register today!
BEYOND THE BASICS! Windhover is proud to present the ONLY conference that delivers 100% case studies by CEOs and senior executives in the industry.
