AI-Based Transformation of the Pharma Business Development: The BioNTech Oncology Expansion Intelligence Platform

Partnering and M&A oncology activity is hot; however, the life science ecosystem lacks a harmony of tools to determine strategic intent at BioNTech. As an expert in investor relations, Robert wanted to work this through a modular AI-based intelligence platform. The ambition: offer investors, startups, and pharma teams a competitive edge through organized insights for the scientific, financial, and strategic data flows.

Challenges in Oncology Business Intelligence

Due to the lack of systematic insights into an unsystematic selection of data and the lack of many oncology alliances, all the most valuable information, namely patents, trials, investments, and collaborations, is hidden in disorganized sources, including press announcements, PDF documents, or the bases of publications.

Sparse Strategic Comparisons Across Firms
Investors must compare themselves or find partners through mechanistic, scientific studies or R&D metrics.

Barricades of Mechanically Conducted Studies
The analyst’s responsibilities are too high for real-time monitoring and quick insight, especially in the case of a fast-moving target such as BioNTech.
