Group
Pharma's entire value chain is becoming digitized with novel and emerging technologies
But investments in innovation are struggling to make a strong business impact
Pharma re-invests 65% of its revenues in innovation - the most of any other industry
But only half of pharma companies feel this re-investment makes a strong impact on revenue
And even less companies see a direct cost reduction from re-investing in innovation
