"Global health product development partnerships (PDPs) are not-for-profit organizations that have taken leading roles in developing the next generation of medical solutions for diseases affecting the world's poor. Organized and managed in many ways like their for-profit biotechnology counterparts, these PDPs have been funded by national governments, charitable foundations and private entities. They have revitalized the once non-existent development pipelines for neglected tropical diseases.

This session, featuring executives from leading PDPs, will highlight the work being done by these organizations, their industry partnerships and future goals.
