Technology Acceleration, Globalization Pressures and the Future of Pharma
Pharma companies large and small are faced with the rapid pace of technology development, both in the labs and in devices and software, and the rapid acceleration of globalization factors leading to outsourcing and larger international markets, and other policy and regulatory challenges inherent to the industry overall. Our seasoned panel of experts will speak on how we are leveraging the valley’s strengths in technology innovation, our phenomenal access to top-notch academia, and our world-renown innovation ecosystem overall to power the future of pharma, and to take the longer term view of new markets and opportunities which are more about personalized medicine than blockbuster drugs.
