Already the world’s third-largest pharmaceutical market, the Asia-Pacific region is likely to see further increased demand for pharmaceuticals and therapeutics, while the life sciences industry continues its path of rapid growth. Singapore is in an optimal position to capture the growing opportunities afforded by this market – if its skills and talent development efforts can keep up with the pace of growth of the industry.

Key topics covered in this paper include:
-
