Frost & Sullivan’s Summit on Global Life Science Molecules: Emerging Opportunities

In order to understand the relevant and strategic issues of the growing symbiotic relationship between global and Indian fine chemical and drug manufacturers, Frost & Sullivan is hosting a three-day international conference titled "Global Life Science Molecules: Emerging Opportunities," from 3rd-5th of June, 2005, in Goa, one of the most exotic and multicultural states in India. This is a conclave of great thinkers, strategic decision makers, and corporate heads of the leading pharmaceutical fine chemical companies. It is an ideal platform for international companies to network with each other, and with leading Indian manufacturers.

This conference will focus on recent developments in the global active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)/intermediate industry in the key areas of R&D, strategic partnerships, manufacturing excellence & methodologies, and marketing strategies. On the first two days of the conference, international stalwarts and decision makers from leading companies such as Lonza Group Ltd, DSM Pharma Chemicals, Cambrex Corporation, LANXESS, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, will share their knowledge and address business issues on various topics.

These topics will cover relevant themes such as the opportunities that exist in outsourcing, technology licensing and contract research, critical factors considered for partner selection, opportunities for emerging technologies in drug manufacturing, and strategies for global leadership. These will be interspersed with panel discussions addressing the most relevant issues of the industry.

A scenic location such as Goa would be an ideal venue for a conference of such magnitude. It provides the much-needed blend of business interactions in a relaxed setting. The last day of the conference would involve informal meetings, interactive sessions, and golf.

"We certainly believe that the conference will offer the ideal networking platform for our international speakers and delegates from India and abroad, thereby creating opportunities for business synergies within the industry," says Mamta Wadhwa, Industry Manager, Chemicals, Materials and Foods Practice, Frost & Sullivan.
