“The BioFuture conference in New York featured panels that got into the nitty-gritty of drug development – from using artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of drug development, to finding investors, and eventual issues with the ability and willingness to pay for them... Panelists offered a range of viewpoints on these and other hot topics,” said Scrip reporter Alaric DeArment in coverage following the event.
HelloPartnering is still open and will remain accessible for 6 months (April 30th). Attendees will be able to contact each other but not schedule meetings. Registered participants can access BioFuture’s on-demand access to company presentations and session recordings by logging into HelloPartnering with their registration details.
“Innovation thrives when visionary leaders and innovators come together,” said Sara Jane Demy, Founder and CEO of Demy-Colton. “The conference’s growth this year is a testament to the value it delivers to participants in understanding the market, policy and other factors that impact the future of their businesses and healthcare. This year’s dialog tackled some of the most complex challenges in medicine and healthcare delivery – from the emergence of techbio to the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act. Our industry is at an important inflection point, and we look forward to continuing these future leading conversations at Biotech Showcase in January.”
