Episode 005: The Room Where it Happens: Dealmakers' Intentions 2017

Jeffrey Stewart, Sachin Purwar

At the BIO International Convention, arguably the largest and most important biopharma partnering event of the year with over 16,000 participants, it's all about getting the deal done. While the industry will very likely not see the extremely high level of licensing and M&A activity it did back in 2015, the year is shaping up to reach a respectable level closer to historical norms, according to Sachin Purwar, Senior Engagement Manager in the Commercial Strategy & Planning practice of inVentiv Health Consulting and one of the authors of the 2017 Dealmakers' Intentions Study -- the ninth in a series and a forward-looking measure of dealmaking activity in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

What are buyers interested in this year, and what do sellers have to offer? Where is there a buyers' market, and where a sellers' market? What are the hot therapeutic areas and technologies to watch? What is the discount rate spread, and what does that mean for getting deals done? Why is the deal success rate so low -- and why is this good news?

Host Jeff Stewart sits down with Sachin to answer these questions -- and discuss the year ahead for dealmaking in the biopharma industry.
