Bangalore, Nov 28, 2006: Pharma and Biotech companies continue to explore opportunities in the emerging markets in an effort to reduce costs and shorten time-to-market. China has become the center of these activities, and companies want to partner beyond just simple outsourcing.

 

‘Asia Partnerships in the Life Sciences’, organized by ALM's Strategic Research Institute, will focus on China and India and will discuss the challenges and opportunities of partnering with companies in Asia. This event will take place March 20–21, 2007 at the Marriott La Jolla, CA.

 

The event will run concurrently with the 12th Annual Pharma & Biotech Licensing Deal-Making Summit that is expected to attract between 300–400 delegates. All delegates will be permitted to attend sessions from all concurrent meetings during its duration as well as the socializing and networking events, and nightly entertainment planned to facilitate speaker and attendee mixing.

 

The Strategic Research Institute is part of ALM's Conference and Trade Show Division, one of North America's largest producers of educational and networking events for business leaders and the legal profession. The division offers more than 300 conferences and two leading industry tradeshows, as well as conferences in Europe and Asia. Attendance at the division's events, which span a broad range of topics including law, finance, natural resources, life sciences, multi-cultural marketing, real estate and healthcare, will exceed 40,000 executive-level decision makers this year.
