AstraZeneca CEO champions China’s Internet of Things tech – Pharmaphorum
AstraZeneca’s CEO Pascal Soriot has championed a strategy that combines drugs with Internet of Things technology that has allowed the firm to gain traction in the increasingly important market in China.
The company has been increasing its presence in the city as a result of that partnership – and in the Q2 conference call with journalists Soriot said that it had gained access to the Internet of Things (IoT) technology that is emerging in Wuxi.
In September, Wuxi will host the World IoT EXPO, and Soriot said AstraZeneca has already begun combining IoT tech developed in the city to try and solve some of the issues that can prevent people getting access to medicines.
