Webinar: From Price Controls to Production Lines: How Policy Is Reshaping Biopharma Strategy
Thursday, July 31 | 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Free to BioNJ Members
BioNJ and Manatt Health invite you to a high-impact webinar exploring how today’s policy environment is transforming the economics, strategy and logistics of bringing therapies to market. With federal action on drug pricing reform and pharmaceutical supply chain security accelerating, life sciences leaders must adapt to a new set of constraints — and opportunities.
This session will bring together legal, policy and market experts to examine how the policies like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Most-Favored Nation Executive Order, Budget Reconciliation and the BIOSECURE Act are reshaping drug development timelines, manufacturing strategies and commercialization risk. From pricing pressures and exclusivity reform to reshoring incentives and funding models, we’ll explore how business leaders can position their organizations for resilience and growth.
Key Takeaways: Whether you’re charting policy risks, optimizing your supply chain or planning for long-term growth, this webinar will provide the strategic context and actionable guidance you need to stay ahead.
