Event: Public Private Partnership Summit - Nurturing Public Private-Partnerships in the Life Sciences Sector in India
Date: 4 July, 2008
Venue: Shangri-la, New Delhi.
Summary: Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) allows Indian pharmaceutical companies to leverage the knowledge and capabilities present within research institutes to rekindle their product basket and, for the research institute this offers the benefit of commercialisation of novel inventions or processes that have the potential to generate additional revenues for the researcher and the institute. But despite the enormous benefits and the initiatives taken to encourage PPPs in India, the number of PPPs is not doing justice to the resources allocated for this purpose. One of the key reasons for this has been the yawning infrastructure gap in the life sciences sector. This gap, if not corrected early can have a negative impact on innovation and entrepreneurship and subsequently affect the growth of the industry. This conference will help leverage the opportunities presented by cooperation between public bodies and private industry, by stimulating more such partnerships in the Life Sciences domain. The main theme of the Summit is focused on various successful models in R&D, manufacturing and in life sciences infrastructure development.
