Why You Should Attend

The Content: Business Development in the pharmaceutical industry has become the most significant source of new products for most pharmaceutical companies. It is now conducted throughout every organisation, which requires executives in many disciplines to understand the process. Even executives new in a business development role often have had no formal training. Companies need to have a structured process throughout the organisation to ensure that there is coordination of efforts and alignment of strategy. This course has been written and developed to capture and structure the processes needed to bring about a successful transaction between pharma-pharma and pharma-biotech companies.

The Expert: All past participants admired Martin Austin’s enormous expertise and experience. His background is rather unique, combining big pharma business development with senior life science capital investment experience.

The Pharma Business Development Course is the only available public training course delivered by Martin Austin on the topic of business development.
