STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
The Lifeblood of Life Science Ventures

PROGRAM SPONSOR

Life science and biotechnology companies are inherently complex. They must effectively manage leading-edge technological problems and long product development cycles. Extensive testing is required and regulatory requirements are steep, whether the company is selling medical devices, pharmaceuticals or, increasingly, agricultural and nutritional products. Manufacturing, marketing, and distribution are equally complex.

How can a young company with limited resources meet all these challenges? Which pieces of the puzzle should it solve and which pieces should it rely on others to complete? How can entrepreneurs leverage relationships with other businesses to achieve results?

Join us on April 26th and learn how to gain this kind of leverage and hear from those who have created and managed strategic relationships in their life science companies, both large and small.
