We continually assist our clients to achieve the growth and value that they are seeking.
Client Issues
Our experienced professionals have a deep understanding of the key challenges that pharmaceutical and biotech companies are facing, and we encourage our clients to ask difficult but important questions such as:
- Where are the key geographic growth opportunities for our products and what should be our approach for executing any expansion?
- Based on our existing pipeline and expertise, what should be our focus going forward, and what should we do with any deprioritized programs?
- How will biosimilars affect our sales, and how should we plan to minimize the overall impact to our business?
- Given the continually evolving healthcare market, what changes do we need to make to our approach to pricing and reimbursement to maximize our value?
Examples of Our Work
To learn more about how we help clients create value in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, please refer to these case examples:
- An American specialty pharmaceutical company believed that there was significant opportunity in Japan for a drug that was still in clinical trials. However, the company lacked a presence in Japan, and required a partner for market access and success. Company executives engaged AKT Consulting to define the commercial potential in Japan and provide a fact base to support its partnership search and negotiations. As a result the company won a major licensing deal in Japan. Read More
