neglected Tropical Diseases: an innovative business Model to eradicate Them<br />
The panel will present the Product Development Partnership (PDP) business model, an innovative and<br />
successful public-private R&D initiative that has been adopted by a growing number of organisations from<br />
the early 2000s to develop adequate treatments for the eradication of neglected tropical diseases (NTD).<br />
The panellists will help understand the build up of the model and the role that each of the stakeholders<br />
involved plays: big pharmaceuticals, NGOs, and donors. They will discuss the management challenges inherent<br />
to the model and its translation from a theoretical construct into a tangible reality. Finally, the panel<br />
will elaborate on the future of the PDPs given the challenging economic context.<br />

fair Trade: a philanthropic initiative that is becoming a private, Sustainable and profitable business<br />
In both emerging and developed countries there are farmers and producers marginalized by the complexity<br />
of global markets and imbalances of power in conventional trade, not having the required knowledge to<br />
freely compete. However, hope still remains for these producers as more and more people worldwide became<br />
aware of their situation. Fair trade is a growing trend in direct response to this issue. Same way, big<br />
corporations have started to include fair trade products into their own supply chain. Indeed, an altruistic<br />
view of this movement is not enough; only positive income can make this trend create sustainable businesses<br />
in the long run. Our guest speakers will elaborate on this as well as explain the dynamic value chain<br />
that is at play in this particular type of business model.<br />
