Covid-19: Virtual Partnering
Posted on December 08, 2020
Free Virtual Partnering Event: 20 April – 6 May 2020
#PartneringAgainstCovid19
To support the fight against COVID-19 and accelerate global collaboration, Lyonbiopole, Evaluate Ltd. and Inova are organizing a free Virtual Partnering Event for organizations with solutions for COVID-19 testing, treatment and prevention.
Why a free Virtual Partnering Conference?
It falls to pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, academia, research scientists, public health agencies, VCs, CRO/CMOs and their suppliers to coordinate the industry’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In normal times, thousands of organizations would gather in a large conference center to meet and exchange. Clearly and unfortunately, that is not an option today.
Instead, leveraging our biopharma industry expertise, our leading digital networking platform and years of experience organizing partnering events, we at Inova, together with Lyonbiopole and Evaluate Ltd are mounting this free Virtual Partnering Event to foster connections and accelerate global collaboration. It’s is our way of contributing to the battle against COVID-19
What is a virtual Partnering Event?
A partnering event usually aims to facilitate interactions between attendees at big conferences in convention centers. Instead, we’re providing a safe, structured and easy-to-use online space for those working on solutions for COVID-19.
Event at a glance
What is the timeline?
- Meeting requests: Partnering meetings are unique in that the interactions are not serendipitous. Participants search for and request meetings with potential partners in our directory. Once accepted, they schedule the meeting via our online networking platform. Access to the directory and meeting scheduling will start from 20 April.
- Virtual meetings: Meetings take place from 4 May through 6 May using the online meeting system. Meetings only last 30 minutes. They are short but allow enough time for an introduction to the partner and their capabilities.
- Follow-ups: Although the initial meeting is short, the relationship continues afterwards.
How does this work?
- Each delegate enters a profile (organization, technology, product, expertise)
- Searchable directory of profiles
- Anyone can reach out to companies listed in the directory
- Meetings can be requested, accepted or declined
- Meetings are virtually organized and scheduled
- Each delegate has a personalized agenda of meetings
