Editor's corner

This special edition of Dealmakers newsletter provides a review of the bus dev elements of BIO2010 last week in Chicago.

Nearly 15,000 delegates attended the event, with over 2,000 delegates from 2,000+ companies participating in the Business Forum, resulting in an excess of 17,000 scheduled one to one meetings.

Currentpartnering has provided a series of BIO2010 reviews:

- The bigpharma paradigm shift to out-licensing
- Regional dealmaking comes into focus
- How to acquire new products and technologies

More to follow in the coming week - look out for our Dealmakers Roundup towards the end of the month.

If you can't wait until the end of the month, we have upped our presence on LinkedIn and Twitter, so to keep up to the minute on the latest partnering developments, join now.

An interesting new product launched at BIO2010 was a free to post online partnering database. This new service appears to provide a fresh approach to seeking partners online - view Qualoria.

Enjoy the brief respite before the next major partnering event - Euromedtech in early June. For a list of additional events don't forget to visit our Partnering Events diary regularly.

All for now.
