The cell and gene therapy segment within life sciences is expected to grow very fast, with global CAGRs of 25-40% according to multiple independent sources.

This high growth forces companies to develop future proof global manufacturing, supply chain and location strategies, answering questions such as:

  • What is the optimal location for our company to set up our initial Cell & Gene Therapy operations? Where can we find the right longer-term talent base?
  • What is our optimal manufacturing footprint? E.g. should we have one central location globally or is a regionalized set-up with sites in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific our preferred strategy?
  • How to establish and optimize the distribution of our products from our manufacturing base to the patients? Which partners can support us in that from a warehousing and distribution as well as an Order-to-Cash perspective?
  • What is our best strategy from a Make versus Buy-perspective?

Topics which will be addressed in the webinar:

  • What are the most prominent trends and developments in cell & gene therapy companies’ internationalization processes? Covering both the challenges of established industry leaders that are adding cell & gene therapies to their portfolio as well as new start-ups in this area?
  • What is the optimal manufacturing strategy for cell & gene therapy? Global versus regional manufacturing? How to balance talent availability, proximity to patient base, landed costs, and internal and external business disruption risks? How to become more resilient?
  • How to determine the optimal location for your new cell & gene therapy manufacturing plant? And for your international offices?
  • How to develop a distribution model that serves the patient in the best possible way?
  • What are make vs buy decisions to be made? Regarding manufacturing? Logistics? Order-to-Cash processes?
