Why HYBRIDGE

There is no industry-run, end-to-end, US ↔ EU conference dedicated to Value-Added Medicines and 505(b)(2). HYBRIDGE owns that white space.

End-to-end scope

Ideation, IP, non-clinical, clinical, regulatory (US + EU), market access, BD and licensing — all in two days.

Industry voices

Operators from Bluepharma, Polpharma, Adalvo, Nanomol, Galenicap, Valdiano — not vendor sales decks.

A working network

Intentionally intimate (~50 attendees), no exhibition-hall noise — every conversation matters.

Why attend

What you'll leave with

Two days end-to-end, designed so you walk out with a working playbook and the network to execute it — not a folder of slide decks you'll never re-open.

Knowledge

A development-to-market playbook

Two days mapped end-to-end: ideation, IP, non-clinical, clinical, regulatory (US + EU), market access, BD and licensing — finally in one place.

Cases

Real industry experience

Operators from Bluepharma, Polpharma, Adalvo, Nanomol, Galenicap and Valdiano share what actually worked — and what they would have done differently.

Regulatory

US + EU clarity in one place

Dual regulatory and clinical perspective from speakers active in both markets. Saves you the budget and time of attending two separate conferences.

Network

A working network you can call

Intentionally intimate — ~50 senior attendees, no exhibition-hall noise. The people you meet on day 1 are the ones you call when you hit a roadblock six months later.

Strategy

Frameworks for portfolio selection

Round-table sessions on which 505(b)(2) assets are worth pursuing — with the executives who make those calls for a living.

Commercial

The BD lens on VAMs

What investors, licensors and acquirers actually look for — directly from those who package, pitch and value these programmes.

Made for portfolio leads, regulatory affairs, business development and R&D heads working on Value-Added Medicines and 505(b)(2) programmes.

Venue

Two days in Barcelona

Hosted in the centre of Barcelona — a pharma cluster with strong connections to both EU and US markets. The evening networking event is the moment most attendees remember a year later.
