SPARK Norway Educational Forum: How to make a target product profile

Time and again, a product is being developed, approved, and launched, only to flop in the marketplace. So how can you get your ducks in a row to prepare for a successful product, and how early should you start this process? The answer: begin with the end in mind by creating and using a Target Product Profile (TPP).

The meeting is part of the SPARK Norway Educational Forum Series 2: Quality, regulatory and IP – monthly open meetings organized by UiO:Life Science and SPARK Norway partners.

Programme

Two highly experienced life science professionals will share their thoughts on how to work with a TPP in order to create a successful product in two different markets, which requires different strategies:

  • Vaccines do not always have a high commercial value in the market, but have a high value from a public health point of view
  • Traditional pharmaceutical drugs have a very high commercial value in the market
