The professional network for the pharma industry

Where pharma business connects.

PBN brings pharma and biotech companies, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and BD professionals into one network — with structured capability profiles and explainable matching that shows who fits, and why.

Business Fit

Example BiologicsExample Sterile CDMO

82/100

Good evidence coverageMutual fit

Why they fit

  • Needs ↔ offers: Sterile fill-finish and lyophilization — 2 of 2 declared needs covered Self-declared

  • Certification: EU-GMP certificate for the fill-finish site Verified

  • Territory: Manufacturing site in the EU, where the opportunity requires it Document provided

Gaps to check

  • No FDA inspection history declared
  • Batch-size range not stated

A relevance score from declared profile data — not a probability that a deal will happen.

Illustrative example with fictional companies: a biotech that seeks sterile fill-finish and a contract manufacturer that offers it, with a Business Fit score of 82 out of 100, the evidence behind it, and the gaps still to check.

Who it’s for

Built for the whole pharma value chain

Partnering happens between very different companies — from molecule to market. PBN gives each of them a structured way to say what they do and what they need.

  • Pharma & biotech companies

    Find manufacturing, development and commercial partners for your pipeline and portfolio.

  • CMOs & CDMOs

    Show real capacity and capabilities to sponsors who are actively looking.

  • API manufacturers

    Reach the formulators and licensors that need your molecules, with your CEP, DMF and GMP status on record.

  • FDF manufacturers

    Offer finished-dose capacity and dossiers to brand owners, licensors and distributors.

  • Raw material & packaging suppliers

    Be discoverable by the sites that qualify excipients, components and primary packaging.

  • Distributors & licensing partners

    Source products for your territories and present your market access to licensors.

  • CROs & service providers

    Connect with sponsors whose programs match your therapeutic and regulatory expertise.

  • BD, sourcing & partnering professionals

    Build a credible professional profile and a network around the deals you work on.

How it works

One loop, from first search to long-term partnership

PBN is designed around the way partnering actually happens in pharma: find, qualify, agree to talk, share, and keep the relationship going.

The full walkthrough
  1. 01

    Discover

    Search companies and people by capability, dosage form, certification and territory.

  2. 02

    Connect

    Person-to-person, or company-to-company with approval on both sides.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    Read why a partner fits, what is verified, and which gaps remain.

  4. 04

    Collaborate

    Share documents with approved partners and move opportunities forward.

  5. 05

    Grow

    Keep your profile current and let new, relevant partners find you.

Company profiles

Profiles that read like a capability sheet

Not a brochure. A PBN company profile records what a company can do, where, and on what evidence — in fields every partner can compare.

  • One shared vocabulary

    Dosage forms, technologies, certifications and therapeutic areas come from a common pharma taxonomy — so search and matching compare like with like.

  • Offers and seeks

    Say what you provide and what you are looking for. Matching uses both sides, in both directions.

  • Territories that mean something

    Manufacturing sites, registered products, distribution networks and the markets you want to enter — each recorded separately.

  • Evidence on every claim

    Each capability or certificate is marked self-declared, document provided, or verified.

Explainable matching

A fit score you can explain to your leadership

PBN suggests partners from structured profile data and shows its working: the evidence behind each reason, how complete the data is, and what still needs checking.

Business Fit is…

A relevance score
How well a partner’s declared profile complements your declared needs.
Not a probability
It does not predict that a deal will happen, and it is never shown as a %.
Read the methodology

  • Directional

    “Is B a good partner for A?” is a different question from the reverse. PBN scores each direction separately and marks mutual fits.

  • Evidence-backed

    Every reason points to declared, structured profile data — with its evidence level shown next to it.

  • Honest about gaps

    Missing certifications, territories or capacity are listed, and thin profiles are labelled with limited evidence coverage.

  • Relevance, not probability

    Business Fit (0–100) ranks relevance. It never claims to predict whether a deal will close.

Connections

People connect with people. Companies connect with companies.

Two kinds of relationship, kept deliberately separate — so a company connection carries the weight of both organisations.

Professional network

Connect one-to-one with BD, sourcing and partnering people across the industry. Either side can accept or decline.

Company partnerships

Requested by an admin of one company and accepted by an admin of the other. Mutual approval, on the record.

Mutual approval
  1. Step 1

    Admin of Company A sends a request

    With context: which opportunity or match it relates to.

  2. Step 2

    Admin of Company B reviews it

    Only owners or admins of B can accept. A can’t accept its own request.

  3. Step 3

    Connected — sharing unlocks

    Documents you mark for partners become visible to that company only.

Trust & privacy

Trust is earned first, then shown

A badge on PBN means something because it is hard to get. And what you keep private stays private.

Verification you can rely on

A company or certificate is marked Verified only after the PBN team has checked it. It is never self-assigned.

VerifiedDocument providedSelf-declared

Private documents stay private

Specs, certificates and dossiers you upload are shared only with partner companies you have approved — and are never used to compute matches.

Companies speak through their admins

Joining a company page needs approval from its admins. Only owners and admins can connect, post or share on the company’s behalf.

Matching uses only public, structured profile data — never your messages or private files.

Opportunities

Say what you are looking for — plainly

Companies post concrete opportunities with the terms and territories that matter. They feed matching on both sides.

Put your company’s capabilities where partners are looking.

Create your profile, set up or join your company, and declare what you offer and what you seek. Matching starts from there.
