Strategic partnerships are essential for accelerating innovation, bridging the gap between scientific discovery and commercialization, and navigating complex market dynamics. Join us in person for this Executive Insight Series session, focused on navigating early-stage partnerships and collaborations in life sciences.
Lila Hope, Partner at Cooley, and Jie D’Elia, CEO of Systimmune, will explore the mechanics of early-stage partnering, strategies for identifying and securing collaborations, and the factors that drive successful outcomes. Panelists will share real-world examples of deals they have been involved in, offering actionable insights on how to prepare, negotiate, and manage these critical relationships.

About the Executive Insight Series:
The Executive Insights Series helps life science leaders move from idea to impact faster and with greater confidence. Designed for early and mid-stage companies, each of the six in-person sessions puts you in the room with people who have built, financed, and scaled successful ventures. Participants hear directly from experienced founders, subject matter experts, venture CEOs, and investors who rarely appear in settings this intimate. Executive Insights is designed to be a powerful networking opportunity. Each session is crafted to spark meaningful connections and practical takeaways, so attendees can register for as many sessions as they wish, with capacity varying by topic and location.
