Taking innovations further Life Science -innovaation globalisoi(tu)minen Markku Jalkanen, tj. Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy
Keskeisiä suomalaisia haasteita kuluneen puolivuosisadan aikana 40-luku: Selviämmekö sodasta ja sotaveloista? 50-luku: Saavutammeko koskaan Ruotsin BTK:ta? 60-luku: Voitammeko koskaan Ruotsia jääkiekossa tai jääkiekon MM:ta? 70-luku: Suomessa ei koskaan kehity maailmanluokan POPtähtiä, tai emme koskaan voi voittaa Euroviisuja? 80-luku? Suomesta ei koskaan voi tulla merkittävää ICTmaata! 90-luku: Bio-nokia on höpö-höpö puhetta! 00-luku: Menetämme kaikki teolliset työpaikat Kiinaan ja Intiaan!
Life Science sisältää useita nopeasti kasvavia alueita, Terveydenhuollon sovellukset (lääkkeet, rokotteet, diagnostiikka, laitteet) Prosessiteollisuuden sovellukset (teolliset entsyymit, kemia, puunjalostus, ym.) Ympäristösovellukset (jäteveden puhdistus, ympäristömyrkkyjen poisto ym.) Ravintotuotannon (perus- ja elintarvike) sovellukset (geenimuunnellut kasvit/eläimet, funktionaaliset elintarvikkeet) Materiaalisovellukset (bioaktiiviset materiaalit, biohajoavat pakkaukset, ym.) Bioinformatiikka (biodatapankit, biosirut, ym.)...jotka koskettavat lähes kaikkia teollisuudenaloja
THE HEALTH-RELATED LIFE SCIENCE MARKET ALONE IS BIG AND GROWING FAST High Demand for More and Better Products Fast growing pharma and medtech market Increasing life expectancy Increasing welfare, esp. in developed countries (e.g. China) Increased focus on quality of life Pharma Market ca. $ 500 Bn, growth 9% Medtech Market ca. $ 200 Bn, growth 10% 500 400 New innovations, better technologies Large unmet needs (e.g. Alzheimer, cancer, diabetes) New diseases (e.g. avian flue) Revenue [bn$] 300 200 Bigger sales and exit markets due to globalization 100 0 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Sources: Pharma-Daten Deutscher Bundesverband Pharmazeutische Industrie e.v.: Burrill & Company, UBS U.S. publicly listed biotech companies Global pharmaceuticals market
ESPECIALLY SMALLER COMPANIES BENEFIT FROM THE OVERALL GROWTH OF THE LIFE SCIENCE SECTOR Innovative smaller companies have stronger position within the sector and can therefore increase their value significantly! Acute pipeline shortage in large companies Smaller companies more mature and highly productive Innovations protected by patents E.g. today more than 60% of new pharmaceuticals originate from small companies R&D expenditures [$B] 60 50 40 30 20 10 25 20 15 10 5 # NME approved by FDA Better license deals Increasingly building own commercial organizations better return Number of Alliances 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 # Alliances Average Deal Value [M$] 22,0 21,0 20,0 19,0 18,0 17,0 16,0 Average Deal Value [M$] 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 0 0 2001 2002 2003 2004 15,0 Biotech R&D Big Pharma R&D Biotech NME approvals Big Pharma NME approvals 179 M&A in 2005 versus 152 in 2004

SEED TO EARLY STAGE COMPANIES CAN CREATE THE HIGHEST RETURN FOR INVESTORS - BUT ONLY IN MATURE CAPITAL MARKETS (e.g., in USA) Average long-term returns for venture capital investments in the U.S. by stage of investment 45,8% 45,0% 40,0% 35,0% 30,0% 25,0% 20,0% 15,0% 10,0% 19,8% 17,0% 15,2% 13,0% 13,7% 13,0% 8,7% 5,0% 0,0% -5,0% -10,0% 1,8% Early stage VC Balanced VC Later stage VC Buy-outs -4,2% -6,6% -8,6% -15,0% 5 years 10 years 20 years Prerequisite: Investors with extensive experience are needed!

EUROPE NEEDS CENTRALIZED IPO-MARKET BEFORE PUBLIC FLOATING BECOMES A REALISTIC EXIT ROUTE FOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS Higher liquidity due to increased size and centralization: a real pan- European trading place for technology stocks challenging NASDAQ Comparable peer -values and transparent analysis supported by Investment Banks: Origin of company s country reduced or not significant Will increase technology investments and change investment climate to a more similar as in US: higher risks - higher returns

ACTIVE OWNERSHIP APPROACH HAS PROVEN TO CREATE HIGHER RETURNS Current Problems with Biotech Companies Idea and Technology (Seed stage) Product Development (Early stage) Sales Driven Company (Late stage) Hurdle #1 Hurdle #2 Lack of business development skills Lack of vision and experience for growth Lack of money to speed up fast growth The Solution: Active Ownership Approach! According to a recent McKinsey study The most effective investors simply devote more hours to the initial stages of deals (= take a truly hands-on approach) Better value creation plans are crafted and they are executed efficiently: Naturally, management s plan is a part of the process, but the best new owners view it skeptically and develop their own well-researched viewpoint that they use to challenge it. Once developed, the plan is subject to near continual review and revision, and an appropriate set of key performance indicators is developed to ensure it remains on track.

BUILD SYNERGIES, e.g. BETWEEN GERMANY AND FINLAND, TO DRIVE THE BUSINESS PROCESS Finland: Highly innovative, but underserved VC market Germany: Mature biotech scene, but lack of new innovations Highly innovative Technology scene Attractive investor scene Second largest capital market in Europe Big commercial market Largest single EU market Many exit opportunities Top-tier pharmaceuticals and life science groups Funding, personnel, exit and deal synergies Germany provides attractive outlet for Finnish companies

ONE SOLUTION IS GETTING THE RIGHT MIX: LIFE SCIENCE COMPANIES WITH WIDEST SPREAD OF SKILLS IN THEIR TEAMS STAND THE BEST CHANCES OF SUCCESS Capable management: Biotech industry, as any industry area, requires specialized management skills only obtained through years of practice Good relations with early Investors: Limited resources require maximal synergy and utilization of skills from both sides Diversity of skills encompassed by company s research and development team: Broader view will prevent wrong decisions and help to unlock product potential and value Early complementation of R&D team for diversification Technology mix for maximal exploration of product potential in various market segments Value-adding process through technology mixing How can we organize this in Finland if we can t use capital to do this?

Kysy itseltäsi,... kun sairastut syöpään, haluatko mielummin sairastaa sitä huonosti vai hyvin terveydenhuolloltaan kehittyneessä maassa, kun seuraava maailmanlaajuinen epidemia puhkeaa, haluatko valtiosi mielummin suojelevan sinua vai ei, kun vanhenet, teetkö sen mielummin teknologisesti edistyneessä vai vähemmän edistyneessä maassa, kun lapsesi valmistuvat ammatteihin, kuinka tärkeää olisi että he saisivat tehdä sitä mahdollismman hyvistä lähtökohdista synnyinmaassaan,...miten voisit edistää life science teollisuuden kehittymistä Suomessa?
Bio-Nokia kolkuttaa jo nurkan takana! Biotekniikka voi synnyttää uusia Nokioita, puhujan siteeraus vuodelta 1997 Menestystarinoita on jo syntynyt: Orionin Parkinson taudin -lääkeryhmä Bayer/Schering/Leiras kohdunsisäiset ehkäisimet Fibrogen, Inc.: S. San Franciscolainen yritys, jonka keksintöjuuret Suomessa (prof. Kari Kivirikko): Fibrogenin kliinisissä tutkimukissa olevat anemialääkkeet ovat keränneet lähes miljardin dollarin etappimaksut viimeisen vuoden aikana myymällä lisenssioikeuksia Eurooppaan ja Japaniin Yhtiön listautuessa Sitra saattaa saada takaisin kaikki tähän astiset biosijoituksensa Keskeisinä toimijoina on edelleen suomalaisia (mm. prof. Kivirikko ja kaksi hallituspaikkaa) Useissa yrityksissä kehitetyt Bioimplantit Ark Therapeutics n maailman ensimmäiset viruslääkkeiden kaupalliseen tuotantoon hyväksytyt (FDA) GMP-tilat Kuopiossa Hormos Medical n uudelleen herääminen amerikkalaisomistuksessa ja paljon muuta on tulossa!
