Life Sciences

Interest in biotechnology and medical devices has never been higher and it's easy to understand why. Consumer demand for improved healthcare relentlessly drives the life sciences industry to find new therapies and technologies and achieving success in research and development will continue to define the winners and losers in the sector.

However, this vitality means the industry is also experiencing a time of considerable change. With an increasing number of joint ventures and strategic alliances and companies scrambling to be first to market whilst expanding their inventory of intellectual property the globalisation of the sector poses as many challenges as opportunities.
