Business Development comprises all activities targeted at the strategic development and growth of a company utilizing external opportunities such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures, in- and out-licensing, divestment and acquisition of IP, know-how, projects or products, R&D collaborations, marketing agreements and other options.
In each case this is a multidisciplinary exercise requiring in-depth knowledge and experience as well as substantial resources. And in most cases timing is key.
There are manifold reasons for companies utilizing external business development resources and support. Some companies might prefer to remain in the background during first contacts, some might have a temporary capacity bottleneck and others might be at an early or critical stage in company life and therefore lack experience and / or manpower.
Whatever your specific situation, we can provide you with our long-standing experience by coaching your responsible management, by serving as your sparring partner for discussion of strategic or operational issues, or by conducting all or part of the respective activities.
