Biotechnology: Strategies for Innovation and Growth

The 'Biotechnology Century' is upon us.
Now is the time to reach its business potential.

The best minds from the University of Otago School of Business and Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management bring you Biotechnology: Strategies for Innovation and Growth - a programme that will help you move your biotechnology organisation into the business world.

The biotechnology industry is at the forefront of New Zealand's future development. It is now more important than ever for innovators in the biotech industry to be fluent in the new technologies and understand how they impact upon traditional business models. Practitioners must understand the connections between all areas of the biotechnology industry - core business functions, cutting-edge technologies, entrepreneurship and marketing.

Biotechnology: Strategies for Innovation and Growth is a specialised course for biotechnology executives aimed at shedding light on commercialisation and its related issues. The programme is taught in three modules throughout the year with each module run over three days at the University of Otago's Dunedin campus. The modules include sessions on innovation management and strategy, business models, intellectual property, accounting best practice, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital.

This is the first time such a course has been offered in New Zealand. Until now, biotechnology practitioners have had to travel to the US for courses on commercialisation and growth. Now the experts are coming here.
