Strategic partnerships are more important than ever in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. In forging such collaborations, as well as in mergers and acquisitions and financing transactions, the parties ultimately are confronted with the question, “What is this asset worth?” Any approach to valuation must integrate the scientific underpinnings of the technology, its relationship to competing technologies and its evolution in the global framework of regulatory and intellectual property laws.

Advances gleaned from this research mature into an understanding of the nature of the phenomenon or system. From this understanding should emerge a business plan with specific, quantifiable commercialization targets.
