Cost of drug R&D The average amount spent to bring a new prescription drug to market more than doubled in about 10 years
A paradigm shift: collaboration Open innovation programs have become a near-universal model for R&D Companies offer university researchers access to funds and resources Academic scientists bring in-depth expertise and basic research data
Collaboration between Bracco and Universities Exchange of ideas and expertises, focusing on mutual needs
Where open innovation leads to To create value for the company and the communities
