Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 18th Annual
Strategic Alliance Management Congress
Advancing Pharmaceuticals through Collaborations & Partnerships
May 18-19, 2021
The development and successful approval of new drugs and therapies increasingly relies on the strategic partnerships forged across pharma, biotech, academia, and beyond, along various points in the pipeline. For these partnerships to be successful and
mutually beneficial, partners on both sides must manage the process and people efficiently and effectively. The quantity, scope, and complexity of these alliances has ushered in new strategies, innovative approaches, and best practices to maximize
value and to leverage partnerships above and beyond the deal.
Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 18th Annual Strategic Alliance Management Congress will bring together senior alliance management, business development, project management, technology transfer, and licensing professionals to network and share experiences,
best practices, tools, insights, and perspectives in the art of alliance management.
