I've been as frustrated as anyone about the amount of time being taken to get a partnership in place. As I understand it though, part of the problem is that these meetings are at a stage where a lot of management people need to be involved, so its a matter of everyone doing all their research etc in advance of the meeting and then finding a time and place where all the players are in the one room. In some ways, that's a good sign. After all, companies would only need one person to tell Avexa 'No deal', but the fact they want the management team there would suggest serious consideration of a deal. As to what sort of deal, obviously a partnership/licensing agreement is one possibility. However, don't discount the possibility of a takeover.
