About this Meeting

As technology companies bring their expertise in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and consumer engagement to the table, pharmaceutical companies offer deep understanding of drug development, regulatory pathways, and clinical applications. This potential convergence could revolutionize everything from drug discovery and clinical trials to patient engagement and treatment optimization.


However, the path to meaningful partnership remains complex, with both industries navigating significant cultural differences, regulatory considerations, and competing priorities. While successful collaborations could accelerate innovation and improve patient outcomes, questions remain about data ownership, privacy protection, intellectual property rights, and the fundamental compatibility of these two distinct business models. Understanding the dynamics of these potential partnerships is crucial for predicting the future landscape of healthcare innovation and delivery.


Join us to discuss:


  1. What successful models of Big Tech-Pharma collaboration are emerging, and what key factors are driving their success?
  2. How might these partnerships reshape traditional approaches to drug development, clinical trials, and patient care delivery?
  3. What are the primary barriers preventing deeper integration between these industries, and how might these be overcome?
