Abstract:

Megatrends are sustained, global, social, economic, political, environmental or technological changes. They are here to stay and will make a considerable and durable impact on the healthcare environment by creating new opportunities, challenges and risks for our businesses.

The Swiss HLG 2017 Winter Conference, has invited renowned specialists from the pharma, healthcare, information technology, finance, insurance and academic worlds to address this theme. Along with other topics, they will review and discuss the implications of the following Megatrends:

Demographic/epidemiological changes, including a global ageing population and the increasing prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases
Economic changes such as the increasing financial pressure on healthcare care costs and the impact of evolving geographical and developmental disparities
Biotechnology advances, like new opportunities offered by gene editing and immune checkpoint inhibition
Information technology development, especially big data collection and connected devices with e-health applications

The presenters will challenge our present assumptions by sharing their insights on these Megatrends and the impacts on our business models and deal structures in the foreseeable future. There will also be exciting open panel discussions, where input from all participants will be welcome, to better define, describe and address these upcoming challenges.

SWISS HLG Start-up Initiative - What's it all about?

For many years, Swiss HLG has been demonstrating their commitment to the Swiss-based, start-up and young professional/academic community. Our first targeted events for this group were delivered in 2012/2013, in Lausanne and Geneva. The success of these events only cemented our drive to continue in this direction.

At Swiss HLG, we know that one of the key success factors for the start-up community is to understand the mechanisms of business development and licensing (BD&L). In order to facilitate such success, we have set up a constituted team, dedicated to developing our new 'Start-up Initiative' across Switzerland.

Leveraging our collaborations with Swiss academic institutions and regional healthcare start-up associations in the Basel, Lausanne, Lugano and Zurich areas, we will be able to offer regular workshops and seminars, on a diverse range of BD&L topics. These will include topics such as financial valuation, outsourcing, and alliance management.
