About Current Partnering

A definitive, evidence-based approach to dealmaking intelligence

Current Partnering is the industry-leading provider of pharmaceutical and biotech dealmaking intelligence, delivering a clear, structured, and evidence-based view of how partnerships are designed, negotiated, and executed in practice.

Our reports combine comprehensive deal coverage, structured data analysis, and contract-level insight, enabling a deeper understanding of how financial terms, rights, and responsibilities are defined across real-world transactions.

All reports are updated every six months, ensuring users have access to the latest deal activity, trends, and market developments.

---

Our methodology

Built on a continuously updated proprietary database

All analysis is underpinned by Current Agreements, our proprietary deals and alliances database which is updated daily by our analysts as new transactions are announced globally.

Deal records are continuously reviewed and enriched as additional information becomes available, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and relevance.

---

Comprehensive and verifiable data sourcing

Deal data is sourced from publicly available industry disclosures, including:

• Company press releases and announcements
• SEC filings and equivalent regulatory disclosures
• Company and investor presentations
• Conference materials and company websites

All sources are captured and referenced, enabling full transparency and user verification.

---

Broad coverage across deal types and structures

Current Partnering provides comprehensive coverage across a wide range of deal types, including but not limited to:

• Licensing and co-development
• Research and collaborative R&D
• Manufacturing, supply, and distribution
• Commercialisation and co-promotion
• Equity investments, joint ventures, and asset transactions
• Options, royalties, and financing agreements

This breadth ensures a complete view of how partnerships are structured across the life sciences sector.

---

Structured, standardised analysis

Every deal is analysed using a consistent framework, capturing (where disclosed):

• Financial terms — including upfront payments, milestones, and royalties
• Rights allocation — development, manufacturing, and commercialization responsibilities
• Deal structure — exclusivity, territorial scope, and agreement type
• Contractual provisions — clauses defining risk, control, and value-sharing

Each deal record is fully categorised, including data fields such as:

• Therapy area and technology type
• Stage of development
• Asset type and deal components
• Geographic scope and exclusivity
• Source documentation, including press releases and SEC filings

---

Financial normalisation for comparability

All financial values are standardised to USD using the exchange rate at the time of deal announcement, enabling consistent comparison of deal terms across geographies.

---

Contract-level insight

Where available, reports include direct access to underlying agreement documents, providing visibility into how deals are constructed in practice.

This enables users to understand:

• How financial mechanisms are defined and triggered
• How responsibilities are operationalised between parties
• How flexibility, risk, and control are allocated within agreements

---

• Pharmaceutical and biotech companies — benchmarking deals, structuring transactions, and supporting licensing strategy
• Investment firms and venture capital — assessing deal benchmarks, valuation expectations, and partner behaviour
• Advisory, legal, and consulting firms — supporting client engagements with real-world precedent and contract-level insight

Common use cases include:
