16:15 The Essentials of Partnering with a Healthcare Company
Ahmed Mohammed | Senior Director, Early Innovation Partner, Johnson & Johnson Innovation EMEA
Groundbreaking science, adequate funding, IP protection and a stellar team are all key ingredients in starting up a healthcare company. However, collaboration with a large corporate partner may also be critical to successfully bring your innovation to patients. Such a partnership or collaboration may bring you access to expertise, resources and networks that are otherwise hard to tap into. In this session, our team will share insights on how they evaluate opportunities, and discuss the steps involved in striking a deal and building a partnership or collaboration. We’ll explore how startups might set themselves up for success in early business development and become partner-ready faster.
