The new millennium finds the life sciences industry facing a host of new challenges:

​

• Unprecedented merger and alliance activity in the supply (pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical supplies/devices) and healthcare delivery sectors.

• New paradigms in the R&D arena where breakthroughs in drug discovery and the use of information technologies impact on traditional organizations.

• Trends in marketing, consumer advertising and population health management require constant replenishment of new product pipelines to retain a competitive edge.

• Changes in healthcare financing coupled with an aging population and new healthcare consumerism require increasing productivity, cost efficiencies and flexibility by healthcare suppliers, payers and providers alike.

• E-health is a new and exciting trend with dramatic implications across all sectors of the industry.
