“Sourcing innovation from a more mature human health market to build assets and start-ups in animal health”.
As the human health market is more mature and well established, there is an opportunity to leverage these innovations to address unmet needs in the animal health sector.This session focused on the possibilities of transfers between the two areas.Several issues were discussed:

  • What factors determine the potential of human health innovations to apply to the animal health market?IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 
  • How to identify the appropriate strengths and how to articulate the transfer process?IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 
  • What are the key steps involved in adapting and validating human health innovations for animal health applications?IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 

  • What collaboration models and partnerships facilitate the transfer and application of human health innovations to animal health?IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
