Collaboration in the Life Sciences
November 2011
A Guiding Principle
Collaboration -> Innovation -> Success

Especially in the Pharmaceutical Industry
 No single company has all the
necessary skills to develop a
pharmaceutical drug
 No single country has all the
necessary skills to develop a
pharmaceutical industry
Collaboration is vital, but…
…choose your partners with care.

Chancellor George Osborne has said the Government will
protect the £4.6 billion science budget, which will see £220
million investment in the UK Centre for Medical Research and
Innovation at St Pancras, London.
NHS funding will increase from £104bn to £114bn over the
next four years, the chancellor of the exchequer has
confirmed.
