Innovators Forum: Corporate Collaboration: Getting It Right From the Start
Many large companies have established new approaches to finding, developing and acting on technology developed in AMCs and other external venues. The hunt for new innovation and continuing budget pressures have compelled big pharma and big device to seek increased ties to academia and its innovative output. At the same time, payer constraints and the sequester are driving AMCs to hunt for new and broader sources of non-federal research support. While the environment seems ripe for an unrivaled period of collaboration, the structure, mode and expectations for these joint efforts can vary widely. Three large company leaders will describe their perspectives on the future of joint academic-industry initiatives, the key requirements for success and what their company looks for in a partner organization.
Speakers: Joel Schwartz, Senior VP and GM, Global New Business Development, EMC; Frank Yocca, PhD, VP Strategy and Externalization, Neuroscience Virtual Innovative Medicine Unit at AstraZeneca
