While the life sciences and health care industry is witnessing a rise of environmental and societal impact, how focused are investors in this regard? At the same time, the role of companies in tackling the pandemic is more important than ever. While technological innovation is constantly disrupting the pharma landscape, how will it reshape manufacturing and supply chains for uninterrupted operations in the new normal? The industry has also been embracing patient-centered approaches in its strive to improve consumer empowerment. But, does patient centricity make strategic sense? Deloitte leaders, along with industry peers, unpacked many of these critical questions at the FT Global Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Conference 2021, which brought together the biggest life sciences and health care leaders from across the globe virtually to discuss. The leaders navigated the route to deliver better health care outcomes in an uncertain world.

Deloitte was once again the lead sponsor of the 2021 Financial Times Global Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Conference and was pleased to offer a free complimentary registration to this year’s conference.
