Biotech & Life Science
Providing the optimum outcome for every client
From coverage to claims, we understand the bespoke challenges faced by biotech, life science and pharmaceutical companies. As you manage complex regulatory requirements and unique market conditions, we will draw on our knowledge of your key risks to create tailored solutions that support your vision.
- Australia ranks top five globally for biotechnology, surpassing countries such as the UK and Germany in the past three years due to an influx of government funding, coupled with tax breaks for research development.
- Biotech and life sciences face distinct regulatory requirements and unique business cycles, where products can often take 10-15 years to reach market.
- Compliance regulations associated with many clinical trials moving from the United States, Oceania and Western Europe to emerging regions such as Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia have increased the chance of negative incidences occurring during trials.
