Issues…
Pharmaceutical companies need to optimize:
• operating models;
• technologies;
• processes.
Speed-up Development

7. …as new opportunities
Taken this implementation as an example, our idea consists in
offering hardware acceleration services by exploiting FPGA
programmability.
Faster new-product commercialization
