Fostering an effective collaborative approach between East and West

BioNetwork Asia 2011 is the leading partnering event for key pharma and biotech companies that focuses specifically to help you source for the right partners in Asia. It brings together the senior business development executives from global and local pharma and biotech companies in one room to foster successful partnerships and to provide solutions for challenges the industry is facing.

Blockbuster drugs worth more than $100 billion are set to expire by 2014 leading to the drying pipelines of many pharma companies. In addition, the pharma and biotech markets in Europe and the US are relatively stagnant and many of these firms are exploring into Asia emerging markets especially China, India, Japan and Singapore for ventures, partnerships and M&As.
