While the life sciences industry in China and India has grown significantly over the past few years, the extent of innovative activity has been difficult to characterize and quantify. In addition, the role and impact of financing mechanisms such as venture capital in accelerating this growth have been unclear. The focus of this presentation will be on discussing peer-reviewed data recently published in the journal Nature Biotechnology characterizing the state of innovative life sciences venture capital in China and India.

The presentation will answer:

• Who is funding life sciences innovation in China and India?
• What types of innovation are receiving investment?
• How active are investors, and what are they interested in funding?
• How are investors navigating the unique challenges of investing in emerging markets?
• What steps can governments take to attract life sciences venture capital?
