A medium-sized backpack will often be your most used pack. For carrying daypack loads, tactical loads, travel gear, and perhaps a very light overnight load the Kelty Redwing is one of the best. It is Nutnfancys reference backpack in this this category (2000-3500 cubic inches, internal frame). Also notable is the excellent GoLite Continuum backpack also discussed. While these designs have been updated or discontinued, a review of their features can equip you with some shopping tips for similarly capable daypacks. The Redwing is a long-enduring design that is constantly being updated by Kelty and remains popular for good reasons: convenient panel loading, strong zippers and fabric, comfortable suspension, hydration compatible, behind-pocket (flow-thru) item carry, subdued colors, mesh backpanel, pefect pocket designs, and outstanding durability. Few packs match all these features although some may be lighter. One such pack was the GoLite Continuum (discontinued, look for similar models). While lacking convenient panel loading, this Continuum does save a pound in carry weight while still offering some waterproof pockets, good ventilation, side item carry (like fishing poles, rifles), mesh pockets, good (albeit spartan) suspension, hydration pouch, and a great OD color. Its lightweight fabric however is not as durable in hard use as is often the case with lightweight offerings (technology may change this in the future). But for all-around, tough, brush busting use, its the …

Biotech SMEs focus primarily on research and development activities. The biotech SMEs play an important role in the industry by enhancing the product pipeline of the industry through their innovative ideas and products. SMEs have very few commercialized products and are valued based on the potential of their products in the pipeline. Almost all the resources and employees in a biotech SME are dedicated to research and development. In addition, the close association of SMEs with academic research enhances the innovative potential of the sector. Many of the biotech SMEs have been established as spin-offs from university research departments. The Research’s study of more than 3,000 pipeline products revealed that biotech SMEs account for more than 87% of the biotech pipeline. This indicates that a majority of the new compounds under development in the biotech industry belong to SMEs. The larger pharmaceutical and biotech companies also benefit from the innovation of SMEs. The bigger companies enter into strategic collaborations with biotech SMEs in order to enhance their pipeline. Licensing agreements with SMEs provide bigger companies access to novel compounds under development. In addition, bigger companies also enter into research collaborations with smaller companies to leverage the innovative ideas of smaller companies. Big pharmaceutical and biotech companies also consider SMEs to be important M&A targets due to their ability to expand their pipeline. The strategic collaborations between SMEs and bigger companies provide advantages to both parties. SMEs often have limited access to resources and funding, and enter into licensing and M&A agreements with bigger companies to enable them to continue R&D activities. Similarly, big organizations benefit by expanding their depleting pipeline. The analysis suggests that SMEs and big pharmaceutical and biotech companies will continue to collaborate for their mutual benefit in order to bring novel therapies to market. Biotech SME’s Organizational Structure Focuses Primarily on Research which Exposes them to Many Challenges The top management in biotech SMEs are research oriented but may have limited exposure to business related aspects of running a company. Many SMEs originate as spin-offs from universities and are therefore founded and headed by experts from research backgrounds. As a result, a focus on research and development is built into the culture of biotech SMEs. This encourages innovation but can lead to a limited exposure to marketing, production, and commercialization experience. Although SMEs are not required to handle commercialization activities in the initial stages of their development, such exposure can be helpful in financing their research and crossing regulatory hurdles more quickly. Bigger companies on the other hand are much more organized and experienced in handling these business challenges and are strong competition to smaller biotech companies. Most biotech SMEs are acquired by bigger companies once they approach the commercialization stage which allows them to leverage the experience of bigger companies. In addition, SMEs need to enter into marketing and distribution agreements with bigger companies due to their lack of distribution expertise. Therefore, biotech SMEs rely on the bigger companies in order to survive while at the same time competing with them. SMEs Face a Challenging Funding Environment Due to the Unstructured Nature of Funding Sources The funding for biotech SMEs is unstructured as they depend on many different funding sources at different stages of their lifecycle. The funding depends on internal factors such as the pipeline strength of biotech SMEs and external factors such as economic conditions. The traditional sources of funding for SMEs are under pressure due to the Impact of the economic recession. The biotech SMEs differ in their funding model from pharmaceutical companies. Big pharmaceutical companies rely on the revenue and profits from their products in order to invest in various activities. SMEs do not have revenue generating drugs and therefore depend on Venture Capital (VC) financing. An analysis of the funding activities of biotech SMEs reveals that all their traditional sources of finances have taken a hit due to the recession. The total number of initial public offering (IPO) and VC financing activities declined in 2008 by 18% as compared to an increase of 10% in 2007. This decline in the VC and IPO markets is likely to have a major impact on the biotech SME sector which is dominated by small companies incapable of surviving for long periods of time without funding. If such a scenario persists, these small companies will not be able to develop their pipelines any further and will eventually face extinction if they are not acquired by bigger companies or receive government aid. SMEs are Challenged by a Strict Regulatory Scenario Due to Their Small Size and Few Resources The regulations for drug development and approval in the US and Europe are stringent with many processes. Industry players are required to adhere to regulatory guidelines at every stage of research and development. The players are also required to maintain extensive records for regulatory authorities. This requires considerable expertise and experience. Relatively new SMEs have limited exposures to such processes and generally find it difficult to adhere to all standards without impacting the productivity of other departments. Therefore, with very little expertise in areas other than research, SMEs find it difficult to handle the regulatory requirements in North America and Europe. While the bigger players are experienced in taking their drugs through the various stages of regulatory approval, smaller companies struggle due to their limited experience in this field. This makes the regulatory landscape challenging for SMEs. Biotech SMEs will Continue to be Targets for Acquisition by Big Pharmaceutical and Biotech CompaniesBiotech SMEs are considered important targets for M&As and partnerships by the bigger pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The collaboration with biotech SMEs enables the pharmaceutical industry to tackle challenges such as patent expiry of key blockbusters and low R&D productivity that it faces. These issues have left the major pharmaceutical companies with unproductive pipelines, and therefore in-licensing new drug candidates from smaller innovative firms is considered as an important strategy to enhance the R&D pipelines. Licensing activities not only provide big pharmaceutical companies with the essential boost to their R&D pipeline, but also help the smaller companies to finance their research and development activities. In addition to licensing activities, biotech SMEs will continue to be a target for acquisition by bigger biotech or pharmaceutical companies. Recent acquisitions of small biotech companies indicate that these smaller companies will continue to attract buyers or partners because of their innovative pipelines. Small biotech companies and academic research organizations have been the targets in the majority of the licensing activities since 2008. Therefore, even as traditional sources of funding such as VCs and IPOs remain under pressure, biotech SMEs will increase their reliance on other big pharmaceutical and biotech companies for their funding needs. Biotech SMEs’ Competitive Positioning is Based on a Strong Pipeline and Bringing New Products to Serve Areas of Unmet Needs Biotech companies compete in the market by positioning themselves as players in niche segments with areas of unmet need. This allows biotech companies to develop first-in-class medicines in different disease indications. Most of the SMEs focus on one or two therapy areas, unlike the big pharmaceutical companies which have a diversified R&D pipeline focusing on multiple therapy areas. This limited focus helps SMEs to optimize their limited resources and effectively engage in R&D activities for finding innovative therapies. Success for these biotech companies is measured in terms of the patent portfolio and the product pipeline of company at any given time. Biotech SMEs with strong products in the pipeline find it easier to attract VC funding and partner with bigger pharmaceutical and biotech companies. In some cases SMEs license some of their products while retaining the rights to other products in their pipeline. Such a strategy is used by smaller firms in order to leverage the experience of big companies to enhance the quality of their pipeline and also to gain experience in handling clinical trials related information. Biotech SMEs have few resources but they utilize them to compete in niche segments with other SMEs and big pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
