Panel: Beyond Borders: How Global Competitive Intelligence Is Transforming Portfolio and Licensing Decisions
Thursday September 17, 2026 8:30am - 9:15am EDT
Junior Ballroom D
    As pharmaceutical innovation expands beyond traditional markets, competitive intelligence teams must rethink how they identify opportunity, assess competitive risk, and support strategic decision-making. Explore how organizations are monitoring innovation across China and other emerging biopharma ecosystems, translating global competitive signals into portfolio, licensing, R&D, and commercialization decisions. Through real-world examples and data-driven insights, learn how leading organizations are adapting their intelligence strategies to compete in an increasingly global innovation landscape.
    • Track the shifting geography of pharmaceutical innovation and understand how China and other emerging biopharma ecosystems are reshaping the competitive landscape.
    • Identify the competitive signals that matter most when evaluating emerging assets, technologies, and companies—and separate meaningful opportunities from market noise.
    • Learn how competitive intelligence informs portfolio, licensing, and business development decisions to support earlier, more confident investment and partnership strategies.
    • Explore how global intelligence teams connect regional insights with enterprise decision-making, enabling better collaboration across CI, R&D, commercial, and business development.
    • Turn global competitive data into strategic action by translating market intelligence into recommendations that drive executive decisions and long-term competitive advantage.
