Risk

Managing risk is critical in the life sciences. The safety of the wider world depends on the quality and efficiency of the drugs and devices produced by the industry, and ultimately, risk management has a key role to play at every stage of the process. Risk management jobs can be difficult to fill in a candidate-short market, especially when you’re trying to build out an entire function from the ground up.


Whether it’s avoidance, prevention, process planning, or any number of responsibilities in the risk management space, a dependable risk professional can add incredible long-term value to your organisation. Risk has the tendency to confound in droves, and in an industry like the life sciences (comprised of countless moving parts) there is plenty of room for this to happen in abundance.


Companies often need to confront extreme initial costs in the life sciences, so in order to maximise budgets and reduce lead times, learning to manage risk effectively is always a must. Alongside the life-saving aspect of risk management, a high-quality function can provide a substantial boost to your company’s bottom line.


Not only does it help you to develop a better brand image, but it also enables you to optimise your processes in a way that benefits every cornerstone of the business. Where exactly do you find the top risk management talent? You don’t, we’ll do it for you.

This saves you money, makes you money, and ultimately (and most importantly) improves the health of the end-user, thus strengthen the wellbeing of humanity as a whole.

​Life Sciences in Berlin

Beautiful Berlin is Europe’s cultural jewel. It’s home to a myriad of astonishing sights, galleries, museums, profoundly thought-provoking memorials, the Reichstag, week-long parties, and a booming life sciences scene. Berlin is a truly unique city – it emanates creativity, not only in the life sciences space, but in the arts too, representing a beautiful, inimitable synergy, as seen regularly in the world-renowned Art Laboratory Berlin.


Berlin is one of the world’s leading life science clusters, boasting a huge number of highly advanced educational institutes, robust biotech, pharmacutical and medtech ecosystems. These are the systems that support over 500 companies in the life sciences space. The world-famous HealthCapital was founded back in 1996, and since then, the cluster has become a launching pad for countless life sciences startups, representing boundless opportunity for progression within the sector.


According to Refire Online, Berlin’s life science real estate transaction value alone was worth 634 million euros between 2017 and 2021. Moreover, there’s a thriving medtech presence that’s home to many of the world’s most impactful biotech and medtech companies, including Klara and Amboss.


With over 70 independent research institutes, hundreds of top-ranked research initiatives, and plenty of international science conferences, Germany’s capital acts as hotspot for discovery and innovation in what is undoubtably one of the most impactful fields of modern research.


The past few years have been incredibly testing for organisations everywhere. The pandemic shone a spotlight in on the life sciences, (particularly healthcare science) unveiling their critical importance to a much wider audience. Berlin’s life sciences industry proved to be robust, ultimately helping produce one of the major vaccines at a time of unprecedented turmoil. If you’re hoping to get ahead in Berlin’s life sciences industry, now is the perfect time to start building the teams of the future.
