Follow on Google News | Business Insights: Trends in Biotechnology Technology Transfer to 2014Biotech companies are increasingly seeking technology transfer arrangements because investor funding remains difficult to find as we emerge from the economic downturn, finds Business Insights.
By: reports-research.com This coincides with such deals becoming increasingly attractive to Big Pharma which is facing complicated and increasingly interconnected disease targets, escalating research costs, fewer in-house R&D resources, increased regulatory scrutiny and demand for more clinical data. Karen adds: “In 2008 there were 53 biotechnology transfer deals for human medicines. In 2009 this number more than doubled to 123. However, many deals fail as a result of failure to conduct proper due diligence, poor deal structure, management changes or simply goals not being met on time or budget or an inability to meet key scientific goals.” The failure of biotechnology deals can have significant implications for both the technology developer and the sponsor, although consequences are usually more serious for the developer due to its often smaller size and greater reliance on a single revenue stream. Karen concludes: “Despite the risk seemingly sitting with the biotech company, drug developers often seek out and acquire large numbers of new technologies and a high number of failures can in the long run greatly impact their competitiveness. As a result drug developers have developed best practice to reduce their exposure including the introduction of structured innovative deal terms and addressing international intellectual property challenges.” One consequence of this is drug developers more closely aligning the technology valuations with actual market potential. As a result Business Insights predicts that deal value growth is expected to decline.
