Salon D
TOPIC: How Enterprise America is Re-tooling its Approach to Innovation

Years ago, ‘Big Pharma’ began to rethink how it approached new product development and innovation.  Instead of remaining insular and relying solely on their own internal R&D efforts, leading pharma companies consciously began taking the view that they should leverage the (orders of magnitude greater) global development efforts undertaken by venture-backed biotech companies and universities and apply their finance, regulatory and distributions strengths.  Accordingly, pharma companies have strengthened their venture investing and Corporate Development efforts and are routinely building their businesses through these mechanisms.  This approach is increasingly being embraced by players in other industry sectors.  Today, energy, automotive, insurance and other industrial participants are adopting the ‘Big Pharma’ model.
