Extremely topical #webinar today from Inpart ahead of #BIO2024 with helpful insights from J&J, especially on how #biotechs can improve both their outreach to and #partnering meetings with prospective #pharma #licensing partners. A few key points: 1. Focus on the science in your request for the meeting. 2. Clearly articulate how your science is novel and transformative, and the problem you're trying to solve. 3. Find a partner that shares your values. Look for a cultural fit that encourages a meaningful and long-term partnership.

BIO International Convention was a huge opportunity and learning experience. My key takeaways from attending for the first time last week: 🍻 Satellite events are where the real value is. We spent time on the exhibition floor and at satellite events, and hands down, made more meaningful connections at satellite events. This was because most people on the conference floor were salespeople, and we were more focused on having conversations about the science and business problems. At events run by Bullpen and several other organizations we were able to meet with decision makers, founders, and investors that gave great insights we'll be taking home with us, and will ideally lead to partnerships and deals in the coming weeks. 💰 Commercialization is king. The founders and CXOs we met all had amazing scientific and technological innovations at the core of their companies, but the problems everyone was looking to solve were around money and market. How do you fund the science? How do you get it in the hands and bodies of users? How can we make the business growth align with the mission? When you're learning to be a scientist most of the emphasis is on the hard scientific problems, but once you step into the business of science, it's all about engineering human systems. 🤝 The best way to form relationships is in person. Ontologic was founded post-pandemic, and as a software company, most of our work can be done remotely. But when you're limited to a 1h virtual panel or a 30m zoom meeting you don't make the same personal connection that you do in person. I was so happy to run into friends coincidentally on the conference floor and have conversations I likely wouldn't have purposely sought out with people I just happened to meet at satellite events. It strengthens relationships in a very human way that isn't captured in a virtual setting, and I plan to make time for in-person social events as much as possible moving forward. Would love to hear others' takeaways!

Thanks for the feature, Harrison SPARC Pty Ltd ☺️ Read it below ⬇️ "Recently, Anthony Granville PhD GAICD, Innovation Manager for Harrison SPARC Pty Ltd, had the incredible opportunity to visit Singapore, highlighting the importance of expanding Harrison SPARC’s expertise and skill set through global collaboration. In today's interconnected world, building partnerships domestically and internationally is paramount for fostering innovation and driving positive change. During the trip he had the privilege of meeting with Akbar Vahidi, CTO, Co-founder, Allozymes and the team who are leaders in creating robust bio solutions for a greater tomorrow. Their commitment to replacing traditional manufacturing methods with cleaner greener and scalable alternatives is truly inspiring and they are certainly leading the charge in sustainable bio solutions for a growing world. It was remarkable to witness first-hand how partnerships with forward thinking companies like Allozymes can revolutionise industries and pave the way for a sustainable future. By collaborating on research and innovation initiatives we have the opportunity to replace environmentally endangering processes with clean biological alternatives, thus making our industries more sustainable moving forward. At the heart of it all, building relationships with businesses like Allozymes isn't just about business, it's about working together as catalysts for change and collectively building a better future for the planet. Let's continue to embrace collaboration and partnership as the driving forces behind innovation and progress. Together we can make a meaningful difference!" #Allozymes #Biotechnology #Innovation

I created Hydratune to solve a huge gap in maintenance safety. What I didn't know was how intense commercialising that simple innovation would be. Elimination of Live Work (ELW) is such a simple concept, if workers aren't in the cab of a machine or outside the footprint while commissioning live systems, they can't get hurt. Unfortunately, due to generations of ingrained maintenance practices making the change to this safety-first methodology is all but impossible for most maintenance operations as the tools to achieve it did not exist. Seeing this segment of Innovation Nation TV air on Channel 9 last Sunday was one of the few rare times I have stopped and looked back in awe at the industry's ELW journey, from the days of cobbling random parts together to the amazing engineered ELW focussed tech I see hitting the market every day, together we are redefining an industry. I would like to extend a huge thank you to Damien Burrows and the amazing team at WesTrac Cat for hosting us to film this segment, WesTrac are truly setting best practice for the adoption of ELW work practices in their operations, from working with ELW tooling tech providers and changing existing maintenance procedures, to developing their own amazing ELW tech like the Dynamic SOS system. Bhuvanesh Malhotra Chris Osborn Warren Jeffery David Calder Gavin Boyce (Rtio) Josh Fulford Matthew Sheather Ronald Mutambiranwa MBA GAICD Lee Osiejak and any other ELW superstars I have missed, should all be intensely proud for the fire that was lit under this problem and the commitment to change that has resulted from it.
