Industry Panel Discussion

For much of the past decade, alliances with and acquisitions by big companies have been a lifeline to small companies looking for a robust exit.  On this panel, we'll explore the medical device deal-making phenomenon from a number of angles, including:

• What will be the appetite for big companies in the coming years?

• How much will deal-making remain within a company's historic technology/clinical spaces?  How much will they use it to extend beyond?

• How have deal-making strategies, approaches, and structures changed over the past several years?

• What criteria do big companies use in identifying and targeting small companies?

• How have the strong IPO market and other factors affected valuations?

"The Big Company Perspective on Deal-Making"
