Open Innovation / Drug Discovery

In previous decades, traditional R&D methods have yielded blockbuster drugs, allowing companies to recoup the costs of development. Nowadays, with patent expiries, more complex disease targets, pricing pressures and increased regulatory requirements, the industry must find a different model to adaptto these changes.

Proceed to: AGENDA REQUEST – PROGRAM OVERVIEW – SPEAKERS & ADVISORY PANEL

As we are experiencing a lag between R&D spending and the extraction of value from that investment, open innovation presents an opportunity to break the mould of current drug research, innovate exponentially without expanding R&D investment and speed the development of tomorrow’s lifesaving medicines for diseases.
VENUE: Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South
