1341 PharmaBio Delegate Booklet 28/11/07 14:41 Page 3 Welcome Dear Guest It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the FT Global Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Conference here at the Cumberland Hotel in London. As the leading annual event in the industry calendar, the conference will provide you with the opportunity to gain critical insights into the foremost trends and issues shaping your industry, and through the many participatory panels and roundtables, will provide an unrivalled opportunity to network and share experience with your peers. The theme of this year’s conference is “Convergence, Collaboration and Customers”. In an era when increased competition and globalisation are the new realities of business, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are less likely to achieve future growth organically, and networking and collaborations of all kinds – through licensing and acquisitions, and through collaborations within and across the life sciences, medical devices and healthcare industry are set to become ubiquitous. The big questions we will be asking each of our speakers are: • How will the undying trends of convergence, collaboration and customer orientation change the landscape of the life sciences and healthcare industries? • How is value creation shifting across the industry value chain, and how can the opportunities for innovation be optimised? We hope that you will enjoy what promises to be an excellent event and that you will join us for the drinks reception this evening. Yours, Jayne Van Hoen Director, Global Conferences & Events Financial Times –– 3 ––
