Episode #4: Scaling Biotech companies in challenging times

The Biotech sector is a key player in driving biopharma innovation and developing ground-breaking treatments for patients. Supporting the growth of this sector is vital to ensure that R&D efforts continue, both now and in the future. However, like most industries, this sector faces a complex set of challenges.

Over the past six months, the biotech sector has rapidly pivoted to respond to the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies have grappled with this new reality by adapting to a new way of working and by forging new partnerships across the sector. In the next six months, companies will need to navigate the challenges associated with Brexit including planning for possible workforce related issues and a possible new regulatory environment.

In the fourth episode of Life Sciences Connect, we explore the challenges and opportunities facing the Biotech Industry.

This episode is led by our host Karen Taylor. Karen is joined by Hanno Ronte, Partner at Monitor Deloitte, Frances Cousins, Partner in Deloitte’s Healthcare Technology practice and Steve Bates, CEO of the UK BioIndustry Association.

• The challenges and opportunities Biotech companies have faced as they pivoted to respond to COVID-19
