Our History & Vision
Founded in 2011 by Dave Melin, Innovation Partners was created to bring biopharmaceutical, medical technology, and medical device manufacturers together with decision makers in the US and around the globe in order to accelerate access to innovative therapies for patients.
Building upon a foundation of influential and wide-reaching relationships, our core team of experts boasts more than 150 years of combined industry, public and private sector experience. Our clients include “top cancer start-ups to watch” as well as “top pharmaceutical giants in the global oncology business”. Our greatest achievement has and continues to be clients and partners who turn to us year after year as a preferred partner for market and payer access, market research, and medical affairs strategies aimed at growing patient access to novel therapies, devices, and technologies – across the US and around the world.
“IP has continued to be critical in our strategy. From day one they have worked closely with [us] as an extended part of our company, understanding our challenges and working with us to find solutions putting a clear strategy in place, and ultimately delivering on their word. Our relationship is incredibly strong and they feel like family.”
