"Any responsible biopharmaceutical company looking to collaborate beyond the US has to look at Asia," says Sara Demy, Founder and CEO of Demy-Colton. "Key Asian countries are not only producing some of the best science in the world, the markets in Asia are predicted to account for a third of global pharmaceutical sales and to drive nearly half of all global incremental sales growth in the sector according to analyst IMS Health."

The Trans-Pacific Health Sciences Dialogue has earned a reputation as the best place for biotech companies to hone their trans-Pacific strategies. "This two-day event event will provide attendees with a solid grasp of Asian biopharmaceutical opportunities and today's best strategies for collaboration and partnering," explains Demy. "This meeting delivers critical insights that you simply won't get at any other meeting," Demy adds.

This year the event will be held September 28 – 29, 2016 at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School. "Moving the event to Boston gave us the opportunity to tap into a deeper vein of speakers who have 'been there and done that' in Asia," explains Dan Ruiz, Demy-Colton Chief Operating Officer.
