Series - Raising Capital

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) presents this webinar to hear from top Big Pharma professionals in search & evaluation licensing and venture investing about what it takes to get them interested in a new technology. We look at their recent deals and ask why they got done, explore the challenges and learn what makes a technology exciting. Then we dive into a discussion on what tech/modalities and platforms are seen as exciting. Finally, we get advice for those biotechs that are ready for licensing or investment.

This Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) webinar explains that the days of the one-page marketing slicks are over, as companies and investors now expect brief “Pitch Decks” when engaging in conversations with them. This diverse panel of experts explain how to make an effective pitch to them, so that you can tailor your BIO partnering strategy to achieve a maximum ROI.

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) hosts this candid chat with three major investors from our biotechnology community. Gain valuable insights and be ready to ace pitching world-changing solutions in the face of a down-trending market at the 2022 BIO International Convention, June 13-16, in San Diego, California.

Biotech Intellectual Property Law in Focus: Webinar Series

Navigating Parallel BPCIA and PTAB Proceedings – Recent Developments and Strategic Considerations

This panel hosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) discusses relevant case law and trends in BPCIA litigation and related PTAB proceedings, followed by a “roundtable” on the factors that may influence litigation strategy, early case resolution, and market entry.

A private biotech that announces a definitive agreement with a SPAC jumps into the public investor spotlight and faces that attention with fewer guardrails than the IPO process, plus a need to transform board, investor, and regulatory relations. Given that most SPAC merger deals also involve follow-on PIPE investment rounds or other transactions, the full fundraising benefits of the deal strategy require a smooth de-SPAC process that a private biotech would never have encountered before. View this webinar to learn best practices for navigating from SPAC deal announcement through de-SPAC process to regular life managing a publicly traded company.  

Innovation flourishes when science and consumer values are aligned and complement one another. Regulatory approaches towards innovative products cannot exist in isolation. They should be supported by credible transparency measures. A proactive approach to transparency stands to build trust and foster an inclusive environment to address our most pressing societal, nutritional, and environmental concerns. This webinar will explore the meaningful – and sometimes unexpected- actions and partnerships that are growing trust in the innovation ecosystem and delivering access to innovations that benefit people and the planet. 
 

New algorithms and optical system improvements are expanding the frontier of cell imaging quality. Artificial intelligence techniques enable better visualization of cellular mechanisms in a wide number of applications and across multiple scientific disciplines, including advancing neurological research. View this Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) webinar as it highlights how AI and imaging are being used to improve our understanding of complex and notoriously intractable disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and related diseases. Learn from the following imaging and therapeutic development experts as they answer audience questions during the session.  

Accepting the Status Quo: Subject Matter Eligibility Nearly a Decade after Mayo  

This Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) webinar discusses the reality that almost a decade after the Supreme Court’s decision in Mayo v. Prometheus, the current subject matter eligibility standard has become the status quo with little prospect for change. Speakers will discuss how innovators can best protect their technology under these circumstances, how subject matter jurisprudence has impacted the patent process, and whether incremental changes could improve the situation.  

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and BioFlorida present "The Transformative Potential of Genomic Medicine 2.0." Genomic technologies create powerful tools that have the potential to diagnose, treat, and permanently subdue many human diseases. Technologies such as gene therapy, gene editing, and CRISPR are just some of the newest terms as researchers and clinicians work on new approaches to develop lifesaving, disease-altering treatments. This session provides in-depth discussion regarding how treatment is changing in rare diseases and the sickle cell community, and how public and private payers are approaching coverage of these crucial treatments. The session opens with statements from two legislators, then the panel features two patients and an expert in alternative payment models to provide information and answer questions from policymakers.
