How do you differentiate yourself from others at BIO International 2023?
How prepared are you to talk to US investors and partners?
The exponential growth of Cell & Gene Therapies (CGT) in the US market provides significant opportunities for Life Sciences companies. This US Market Gateway Accelerator helps companies prepare for their most important meetings and navigate the competitive US healthcare market. From honing IP and fundraising strategies to understanding reimbursement and regulatory, we leverage the vast know-how and networks of experts who provide 1-1 guidance, critical feedback, and introductions to two of the most important Cancer and Cell & Gene therapy ecosystems in the country: Boston and Philadelphia.
The Cancer and Cell & Gene Therapies sector is entering a more strategic phase in the US, making this market both extremely attractive but also challenging. Additional scrutiny of gene therapies is expected as more options become available on the market. The multi-payer system and the frequency with which insurers move between carriers pose a challenge to onetime upfront costs and long-term benefits. We deliver answers to relevant questions and provide a roadmap for US market expansion so that you can have the most impactful conference experience.
