Are there other nations which have less demanding requirements, but still decent vetting? Why can't these kinds of ideas go there?

Are there other nations which have less demanding requirements, but still decent vetting? Why can't these kinds of ideas go there?
- bdamm 9y agoMy scientist friends tell me China is paying well, making funding available, and has a lower go-to-market burden. Innovation appears to be literally moving to China as talent is being drained away from the US & Europe.
- Gtifn 9y agoJust for biotech?
- meric 9y agoI'd count commodity electronics in there.
- blackbagboys 9y agoThey have a lower go-to-market burden because the regulators don't much mind if you literally fabricate long-term clinical trial results out of whole cloth. The only innovation occurring is in the field of separating fools from their money.
- sirtaj 9y agoI've seen how clinical trials take place here in India and yes, it's not always pretty. There are plenty of people who mean well and do good work, but the pressure to reduce cost invariably leads to shortcuts.

- BurningFrog 9y agoOne factor is that by far the biggest profits are to be had in the US. Maybe you can get approved in Australia or Sweden, but that will pay negligible sums compared to getting into the US market.
- komali2 9y agoCould try for market pressure - for example, that male birth control being developed in India we keep hearing about. I bet it'll get approved here faster than normal because of how desired it is.
