Effective R&D Project Management in Pharma & Biotech

Effective R&D Project Management in Pharma & Biotech is organized by Fleming and will be held from Nov 12 - 14, 2025.

Description:
High performance project management will be critical to BioPharma in future. Pressure is growing to improve R&D productivity in the sector, because development costs are spiralling; political/trading conditions in the world are becoming more hostile. Products are more difficult to bring to market and many companies are initiating more projects with limited resources.

Benchmarking with other industry sectors, BioPharma project management is typically immature. Very clear opportunities exist to improve, transform productivity and outperform the competition!

Looking to develop a truly high performing project culture, our sector has for many years aimed to work with a systematic project approach and cross-functional teams to manage complex projects.
