Ask a Question Exhibitor Standard Contract Clause

In the dynamic world, pharma-significant changes need to be handled daily. A continuous improvement of regulatory and quality frameworks is only one of many reasons. More than 160BN US Dollars will be invested in R&D until 2020 according to most recent trends. Novel active compounds need to be identified and an increased activity in M&A is foreseen with a few big players sharing the market. More Technology Transfer Projects are expected to be executed to respond efficiently and rapidly to the needs of “process mobility” in the field of R&D and manufacturing.

Moreover, matrix organization is becoming a key approach to provide agility and scalability and ensure efficacy. The combination of the above aspects concludes that project management skills, tools, and expertise are a must-have and key drivers for success. Project management needs to be customized to the unique environment of the pharmaceutical industry!
