Funding Biopharma Innovation
De-risking investment and driving product development
Major breakthroughs in healthcare – from cell and gene therapies to mRNA vaccines – have highlighted the power and value of investing in biopharma innovation. However, with the average cost of developing new drugs now exceeding US$2bn per therapy, raising funds for new programmes continues to be challenging.
Against a backdrop of ongoing cost pressures, competition to attract the right skills, and a strict regulatory environment, it has become tough to raise money for new product development over the past two years. Capital allocation is being put under the spotlight, with decision makers scrutinising how to achieve higher returns, whether to reallocate spending, and how to redesign business and partnership models.
The Financial Times, in partnership with Syneos Health, brought innovators and investors together to discuss the funding and partnership models that can accelerate drug discovery and breakthroughs in clinical development. Live from Boston, we explored how to de-risk investments in new pharma and biotech products and discussed the latest strategies for investing in clinical innovations.
