Findings of a new survey of biomedical company CEOs about the future of the biomedical industry will be unveiled at a live press briefing hosted by the California Healthcare Institute, BayBio and PwC in San Francisco on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Some of the questions that will be addressed during the briefing include:
- What are the biggest threats to future growth of the biomedical industry?
- How are biomedical companies adapting to new threats and opportunities?
- Where are biomedical companies turning for capital, and who will finance new innovation in the future?
- How does the relationship between industry and FDA help or hinder innovation?
- What are the key state and federal policy issues that will influence the ability for the United States and California to maintain global leadership in biomedical innovation?
While the biomedical industry may be poised for explosive growth over the next five to 10 years, the pace will be determined by a confluence of factors — the political, economic and regulatory environment, the availability of capital, health reform, globalization and state and federal budget deficits. These factors and the relative risks and opportunities they represent to the biomedical industry are among the topics explored by the survey.
The briefing will include a presentation of research highlights, followed by a candid discussion among the CEOs of three California-based biomedical companies. The briefing will allow time at the conclusion for questions from the audience and members of the media.
