Transforming a US Biotech Company: Scaling Operations and Boosting Revenue with Strategic Countertrade Mechanisms
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client was a US-based biotechnology company specializing in developing innovative therapies and diagnostics for various diseases. Their primary target market comprised healthcare providers, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies. The company was facing challenges in scaling operations to meet the increasing global demand for their products and services.
Problem
The client’s inability to scale operations quickly enough resulted in lost revenue opportunities, inefficient operations, and a weakened competitive advantage. They needed a comprehensive solution to overcome these challenges and leverage the global market potential for their products and services.
COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
We implemented a multi-faceted countertrade strategy to address the client’s challenges, utilizing various mechanisms including:
Solution #1
Offset Agreements: We facilitated direct and indirect offset agreements with suppliers and partners in several countries, incentivizing them to invest in the client’s business and local economies.
Solution #2
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): We helped the client establish BOT agreements with local partners in key markets, allowing them to build and operate production facilities in those regions, which were then transferred to local ownership after a specified period.
Solution #3
Joint Ventures (JVs): We assisted the client in forming strategic joint ventures with international partners, providing access to new markets and sharing resources, expertise, and technology.
Solution #4
Tolling: We arranged tolling agreements, enabling the client to utilize production facilities of international partners to manufacture their products in regions with lower production costs.
Solution #5
Economic Enhancement: We leveraged countertrade mechanisms to promote economic development in the client’s target markets, enhancing their brand reputation and market penetration.
Implementation
Our team worked closely with the client to identify suitable partners and markets for each countertrade mechanism. We negotiated terms and conditions with potential partners, ensuring that each agreement aligned with the client’s goals and priorities. The agreements were implemented sequentially, allowing the client to scale operations systematically and efficiently.
