Business Development & Growth Academy: Navigating R&D challenges

Business Development & Growth Academy Navigating R&D challenges aligning strategy, finance and operations across the company lifecycle

[This session will be rescheduled - Date & time TBA]

R&D companies in Life Sciences face a complex web of challenges that evolve significantly as they grow. Whether securing early-stage funding, managing IP strategy, navigating procurement complexity, or dealing with organisational silos in large enterprises, the underlying pressures can be mapped across three interconnected pillars: strategy, finance, and operations.

This webinar brings together speakers from complementary fields, IP strategy and R&D procurement, to explore how these challenges manifest at each stage of the company lifecycle, from startup through scale-up to large enterprise.

Session objectives

  • Understand how R&D companies navigate strategic, financial and operational challenges at different stages of growth
  • Learn how procurement complexity and compliance requirements impact scientific output and resource allocation
  • Understand the tension between financial constraints and strategic investment at each stage of the company lifecycle
  • Identify how challenges evolve as companies scale, and what practical alignment looks like across strategy, finance and operations

Speakers

  • Suzanne Renes, IFORI
