2010 Biopartnering Study - The Results are in and there are some big suprises!

Our 2010 Biopartnering study is due to be launched early next month. This year's study has an important finding - companies that partner well – what we call "preferred partners" – are displaying stronger financial performance.

Compared to the rest, preferred partners:

• Averaged the highest return on invested capital – over 70% more than the least desirable partners
• Gained the most points in sales growth

In this year's report we include the full ranking and not just the top 5. There are some very surprising results. Where did your company come in the ranking?
