Dear Sabrina,

From 20 April to 6 May we are organizing a free COVID-19 Virtual Partnering event that gathers the global pharma industry to connect and help bring forward solutions against the coronavirus pandemic. This includes the development, clinical trials and manufacturing of patient solutions such as diagnostics, drug treatment and, ultimately, a COVID-19 vaccine.

Over 400 delegates have already registered for this virtual event in less than a week, coming from biotech & pharma companies, CMOs & CROs, research & nonprofits, diagnostics & medtech, and more. Join leading biopharma companies such as AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Gilead, Menarini, Merck, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, and Takeda in #PartneringAgainstCOVID19. See who is already registered.

Why participate?

This initiative is backed by a consortium of biotech clusters and over 30 national, European and international trade associations. Pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies have endorsed the initiative, making this a truly global effort.

It represents a safe, structured and easy-to-use online meeting space for those working on solutions for COVID-19. The event is organized by Lyonbiopole, Inova, and Evaluate Ltd, and will leverage Inova’s market-leading matchmaking platform to efficiently organize one-to-one meetings.

Support the fight against COVID-19 by participating in this event and spreading the word to your colleagues, partners and contacts that can help in the global effort to develop testing, treatment, or prevention solutions for the pandemic. Follow the discussions on social media using #PartneringAgainstCOVID19 and #PartnerAtHome.

Event at a glance

What is a virtual Partnering Event?

It’s a conference of virtual face-to-face meetings. It functions just like a standard partnering conference, except all meetings are online instead of at a physical location.

This conference leverages the One-on-One Partnering platform, developed by Inova Software, that you know and love from conferences such at the BIO International Convention, BioNJ and BIO Asia, amongst others.

What is the timeline?

• Registration: Registration opened 7 April.
• Meeting requests: The partnering platform opens on 20 April, attendees can login to complete their profiles and start sending meeting requests.
• Virtual meetings: Meetings take place from 4 May through 6 May using the online meeting system.
• Follow-ups: Although the initial meeting is short, the relationship continues afterwards.

If you have any questions about this event, don't hesitate to contact me or reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
