This conference has been expanded and enhanced to showcase how international and Indian companies are actively incorporating India as part of a global strategy to accelerate drug discovery, become more efficient in clinical development or to strategically position themselves to take advantage of India's rapidly expanding pharmaceutical marketplace. Two conference tracks: "Discovery to Innovation" and "Clinical Trials in India" will feature multiple case studies from Western companies who are actively leveraging the "India Advantage" through on-the-ground R&D activities in India or through partners and CROs in India. Speakers will share their day to day practical experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. In addition, top Indian pharma and biotech companies like Ranbaxy, Dr. Reddy's, Biocon, Nicholas Piramal, Wockhardt, Torrent, Avesthagen, Dabur and others have confirmed as speakers to share their companies' R&D strategies and partnership objectives as they expand their R&D capabilities and global initiatives.

India's pharmaceutical and biotechnology market is growing exponentially and new regulations, more start-up companies and expanding capabilities in R&D mean constant change and new opportunities to leverage India as part of your own R&D efforts. Whether you are interested in outsourcing activities from discovery to preclinical to reduce R&D cost, finding partners for risk-based scientific R&D, learning about the emerging business models for partnerships in India, outsourcing clinical trials in India to take advantage of cost savings or to gain access to India's diverse patient population or setting up your own R&D operation in India…by attending this event, you will gain enough information and make enough contacts to equal months of due diligence…in only three days!

Attend this event and learn how to leverage the "India Advantage" in your drug discovery or clinical development efforts.
