Keynote Address: “Why Collaborate in the Biotech Industry” Until recently, as long as the average biotech company?s pipeline was productive, the warehouse was full and the underlying cost structure was manageable; these companies realized very healthy profit margins and sustained top-line growth. So what happened to cause so many biotech companies to reconsider their supply chain strategy? Global competition to reach emerging markets, increased pressure on pricing and reimbursement, under-utilized capacity of large manufacturing facilities and expensive stocks of inventory are all calling the biotech supply chain executive to action. Operational excellence in supply chain and collaboration across the value chain, every biotech executive?s keys to unlocking sustainable value, will be discussed. Furthermore, a preview of AMR Research?s development of their first annual Healthcare Top 25 ranking will be presented.
