Life science
The Life-science Industry is facing daunting pressures for cost reduction that are forcing leaders to rethink their business models.
Payors are tightly supporting a sustainable and lean healthcare system with ongoing austerity measures tackling runaway healthcare costs to increase access to care. Empowering patients, more knowledgeable and info/data driven, are becoming more capable of managing their own health and are thus requiring more customer centric approach to industry players.

With a proven track record in supporting leading international players in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical devices sectors, Value Partners represents a trusted advisor that combines a strong understanding of the commercial challenges and opportunities of this industry with a proven capability of delivering long term lasting results.
Our professionals have significant healthcare/pharma experience, working with leading payors, providers, regulators and industry associations and allowing to forge connections among industry stakeholders always providing a unique perspective on the rapidly changing value chain of the industry.

Industry competition is increasing due to new local players in emerging countries and the ongoing consolidation wave is forcing industry players to review their international strategy.
