Managing Risk in a Changing World

As a new decade gets underway, the pharmaceuticals industry faces a world of increasing complexity. Governments are driving through healthcare reform at a staggering pace and are, at the same time, increasing the regulatory burden on the industry. Pharmaceuticals companies are fighting hard to stave off the effects of patent expiries, pricing pressures and the spiralling costs of bringing new drugs to market. They are expanding their presence in emerging markets and looking to lay off risk by entering into a range of strategic partnerships. All in all, a fine balancing act. Despite the need to innovate and grow, the industry cannot afford to neglect the increasing risks with which it is confronted. We are delighted to have a distinguished panel of speakers come together to discuss the issues and responses to managing risk in a changing world. We warmly invite you to attend and to participate in our discussions.
