• Speaker: Dr. Paul Folta is a management consultant to life sciences and related companies that are seeking to commercialize overseas. He has over 25 years of experience advising and managing sales, sourcing and investment programs around the world for biotech, medical device, pharmaceutical, healthcare and other sectors. His talk, “International Commercialization: Key Principles & Cases,” will provide a checklist that Life Science entrepreneurs should consider for accessing international markets, offer lessons from recent cases and will be open to questions from the audience.

For the uninitiated, LST’s Beer and Biotech happy hours are an excellent opportunity to connect with local professionals involved in science industry, policy, and entrepreneurship. It’s great way to step outside of the Vanderbilt bubble and learn about the burgeoning life science industry in both Nashville and the state of Tennessee.
