Strategic Research Institute

Strategic Research Institute (SRI) was a prominent provider of business-to-business conferences and strategic intelligence, with a significant focus on the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors. Founded in the early 1990s, the company became well-known for hosting high-level industry summits that brought together biotech executives, pharmaceutical leaders, and institutional investors to discuss drug discovery, development strategies, and market trends. SRI's portfolio included specialized events such as the 'Drug Discovery and Development of Oncology Therapeutics' and various 'Biotech Strategy' summits. The company played a key role in facilitating industry partnerships and investment flows during the biotech boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2006, Strategic Research Institute was acquired by the Institute for International Research (IIR), which was subsequently integrated into the Informa group.
