Editor's corner

BPE 2009 and BioEurope 2009 were once again the preeminent partnering events of the fall for biotech seeking to meet prospective biopharma partners. However, if you are actively seeking development and market stage pharmaceuticals you should seriously consider EuroPLX events - held three times a year in various European cities, they are essential for partnering in the pharmaceutical arena.

There are many more partnering events this winter and Currentpartnering will be present at them all - the following are our suggested must attend events: TA Partnerships, Biobusiness 2010, Biopartnering North America, Drug Delivery Partnerships, BioSquare, BioAsia.

October saw a continuation in the big uplift in partnering activity, with nearly 200 deals announced according to our Scorecard - the highest since January. This reflects not only increased activity normally associated with the post-vacation period, but also the probable beginnings of a new momentum in dealmaking as people put the worst of the economic crisis behind them. Our Scorecards keep you up to date with deals and alliances as they are announced.

NEW! Our industry round-up and in the news sections continue to provide insight and are updated daily online, providing you with the latest trends from the world's most respected publishers and deal news direct from biopharma companies as they are announced.

Our latest report: Drug Delivery Partnering Agreements in Pharma and Biotech is now available, providing insight and access to hundreds of partnering contract documents.

Our publishing arm has been busy introducing new reports - here are just a few of the titles new to 2009 rush to buy before price rises in the 2010:

All for now - enjoy the partnering conference season.
