Inova Community Event 2020
This client-only event is a day dedicated to insights and innovation, acceleration and anticipation, and a chance for industry leaders to network with their peers, from more than 130 life science companies that Inova serves every day.
How to accelerate partnering to bring innovative treatments to market faster
More and more pharma deals are made each year, and at increasingly earlier stages of drug development. Pharma giants are moving faster than ever to identify partnership and licensing opportunities, and the smallest biotechs can find themselves moving from first contact to signed deal in weeks rather than months.
What does this acceleration mean for the future of medicine? How can pharma companies manage this acceleration? How can biotechs leverage this acceleration? And what innovative practices are going to help drive this acceleration in 2020 and the years beyond?

Keynote Address – Accelerating Innovation in Life Science
There are many reasons why accelerating innovation in the life sciences is necessary. But unfortunately, there are just as many barriers to innovation. Regulations, inefficiencies, high-friction deals, and risk regularly combine to stymie necessary change, but there is both hope and a path forward towards a faster, safer biopharma future.
Interview + Q&A
Coffee break
Plenary Panel Session
Tim Noblitt, Eli Lilly Director, Corporate Business Development
Three thought leaders in the life science space set out to speak to three significant challenges facing the industry: increasing open innovation with emerging biotechs, pan-industry partnering earlier and more often, and accelerating drug development to reach patients faster. What best practices can be adopted, and will they be enough?
