Global Investment Event Series

AusBiotech’s Global Investment Event Series helps Australian life sciences companies connect with global capital markets and empowers them to be competitive on a global scale by:

• Leading Australian life sciences companies to major investment hubs around the world including Australia, Hong Kong, China, the US and Europe.
• Arranging access to opportunities for collaboration, partnerships and alternative funding.
• Providing investor support and education both domestically and internationally.

The AusBiotech-led Global Investment Program aims to improve management and workforce skills. AusBiotech is working with consortium partners the ASX, DibbsBarker, WE Buchan and KPMG, all of which bring extensive insight and experience in the life sciences to enhance the capability of the sector to engage with international markets and access global supply chains.

This venture has received funding through the MTPConnect Project Fund Program – a dollar-for-dollar matched program investing in big, bold ideas to improve the productivity, competitiveness and innovative capacity of Australia’s medical technology, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector, supported by the Australian Government Industry Growth Centres Initiative.

Major outcomes of this program include the development and publication of a “Guide to Life Sciences Investing”, the development and delivery of workshops for “Roadmap to preparing for a successful IPO” and “Pitching to Investors” and the upscaling and enhancement of AusBiotech’s current global investment event series.

In 2017, the AusBiotech-led Asian Investment Series confirmed that investor interest in the Australian life science industry is strong and intensifying.

Almost 400 delegates gathered to hear 21 Australian biotechnology and medical technology companies present their investment proposition as part of the Series, which was held in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai during March.

AusBiotech's former CEO, Glenn Cross, who led the three events, said: "This strong investor interest in the Australian life sciences stems from the nation's top ranking in the global life sciences and its diverse suite of investment opportunities in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals."
