Open Innovation in the Life Science Sector

Start:

Due to pipelines diminishing, patents running out and increasing development costs, the pharmaceutical industry is being pressured to re-design their business models and look at new ways to replenish their product pipelines. Companies are now looking to co-evolve through the introduction of innovative ideas supplied externally through different organisations. Building these networks of strategic partners enables companies to combine the best internal and external expertise which aid in faster development times, ultimately leading to maximum return on R&D investment.
