Published

on

SAN DIEGO, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ahead of the BIO International Convention, BIOSeedin Summer Innovation Partnering Summit was successfully held at Wyndham San Diego Bayside, California. Hosted by bioSeedin, the summit’s discussion topics were about early-stage innovation assets, late-stage clinical pipelines, business development strategies, M&A trends, multinational collaboration models, and global licensing transactions.

ACROBiosystems participated as a key strategic partner under the theme “Enabling Global Opportunity,” working with a broad network of industry partners to build a strategic partnering platform for the globalization of innovation assets. The event gathered more than 200 participants from over 30 countries, creating a highly active environment for business dialogue and partnering discussions.

During the summit, ACROBiosystems set up a dedicated networking lounge to provide attendees with an exclusive space for in-depth discussion, helping turn thought leadership and ideas into tangible collaboration.

Through the summit, ACROBiosystems aims to amplify the visibility of high-potential innovation assets and help them gain greater international recognition, deeper industry understanding, and more partnering opportunities during a critical window for the global biopharmaceutical industry.

From winter to summer, ACROBiosystems has continued to advance global innovation partnerships.

Looking ahead, ACROBiosystems will continue to work with global partners around its core brand values of “Reliable Quality, Integrated Innovation, and Considerate Service”, jointly accelerating the translation of biopharmaceutical innovation into clinical applications and global markets.

Summit Recap

The summit opened with remarks from Ms. Jenny Zhao, Co-founder and CEO of bioSeedin.

And then the summit went on with panels and company presentations, along with one on one partnering session to motivate exchange and precision collaborations.

The panel session split into two parts: the early-stage and late-stage session.

No. 1 Early-Stage Session

The Early-Stage Session featured two panel discussions on licensing, external innovation, and M&A. The first panel brought together executives from Debiopharm, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Roche/Genentech, AstraZeneca.

Key Takeaways:

Licensing is not simply an asset transaction, but a strategic tool for translating differentiated science into long-term value.Strong biology, high-quality data, translational continuity, and a credible global clinical development plan remain essential to deal execution.Deals often stall due to weak biological rationale, unclear patient or biomarker strategies, poor PK/PD or therapeutic windows, and inadequate global development planning.

The second panel was moderated by Kenneth C. Chen, Senior Director of Business Development, US & EU, at bioSeedin, and featured executives from Sun Pharma, Hygieia Pharma, and Servier.

Key Takeaways:

M&A should support long-term corporate strategy rather than serve as an end goal.Companies need to balance acquisitions, strategic investments, and licensing transactions.Successful M&A depends on valuation discipline, rigorous due diligence, effective execution, and post-deal integration.

The session also included company presentations from Antengene, GeneScience Pharmaceutical, and Salsola Therapeutics, showcasing innovative pipelines across autoimmune diseases, immunology, and neuropsychiatric disorders.

No. 2 Late-Stage Session

The Late-Stage Session Executives from Daiichi Sankyo, Takeda, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Thermo Fisher Scientific discussed the global innovation ecosystem and emerging industry trends.

Key Takeaways:

Innovation must remain grounded in strong science, robust biology, high-quality data, and rigorous R&D.

China and AI are long-term structural forces rather than short-term trends. Companies need a clear and coherent China strategy.

AI can support the full R&D value chain, but it cannot replace scientific fundamentals.

The session also featured presentations from HighTide Therapeutics, Constimulus Bio, CanWell Pharma, Jiangsu Chia Tai Fenghai Pharmaceutical, Amphiprotech, and VyBio, showcasing advanced pipelines and global development opportunities across multiple therapeutic areas.

Beverly Hills Bed Shares Adjustable Air Bed Alternative Following Sleep Number Bankruptcy Filing

Published

on

By

Following Sleep Number’s Chapter 11 filing, consumers are comparing adjustable air bed alternatives, pricing, features, and long-term value.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following Sleep Number’s recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, consumers across the United States are researching adjustable air bed alternatives and comparing product features, warranty coverage, and overall value before making a purchasing decision.

While Sleep Number has announced that it intends to continue operating during its court-supervised restructuring process, the filing has encouraged many shoppers to carefully evaluate their options before investing in a premium adjustable air mattress.

According to Beverly hills bed, an online retailer specializing in air adjustable sleep products since 2006, interest in air mattress alternatives has increased as consumers seek independent information about available products and manufacturers.

“Whenever a major company enters financial restructuring, it’s natural for consumers to research their options,” said a spokesperson for Beverly Hills Bed. “Shoppers today are comparing pricing, comparable features, and long-term value before investing in an adjustable air bed.”

Understanding Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing does not necessarily mean a company is going out of business. Instead, it allows a business to reorganize its finances while continuing normal operations under court supervision. Sleep Number has publicly stated that it expects to continue serving customers during the restructuring process.

Industry observers note that announcements like these often encourage consumers to spend more time researching competing products before making a purchase.

Why Consumers Are Comparing Adjustable Air Beds

Adjustable air mattresses continue to grow in popularity because they allow sleepers to customize firmness independently on each side of the bed.

According to Beverly Hills Bed, today’s shoppers are comparing several important factors, including:

#1 PricingFeaturesAir mattress buildAdjustable base compatibility

Many consumers are also researching how different manufacturers compare in features and pricing before making a final decision.

Adjustable Air Mattress Alternatives

As buyers explore the marketplace, many are comparing traditional brands with independent retailers that specialize in adjustable sleep products.

Beverly Hills Bed offers a collection of Adjustable air mattresses available in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch models featuring dual independent air chambers, wireless remotes, adjustable firmness, and compatibility with modern adjustable bases.

The company also publishes educational resources to help shoppers compare products, including its guide to 6 sleep number alternatives which explains top of the line air mattresses between companies.

Choosing the Right Adjustable Air Bed

Industry professionals recommend comparing more than just brand recognition when purchasing an adjustable air mattress.

Consumers should evaluate mattress construction, available comfort settings, warranty coverage, customer reviews, sleep trial policies, adjustable base compatibility, and long-term ownership costs.

For shoppers seeking adjustable bed customization, including lumbar back support, wall hugger and voice control features, the company’s 14″ air bed bundle offers the lowest pricing in the industry when bought with any unique adjustable bed frame.

“Consumers have more choices than ever before,” said the spokesperson. “The most important step is taking time to compare features, warranty coverage, and overall value so buyers can select the adjustable air bed that best meets their individual comfort needs.”

www.beverlyhillsbed.com specializes in adjustable beds, adjustable air mattresses, split queen adjustable beds, latex mattresses and RV air mattresses. Since 2006, the company has served customers throughout the United States by offering customizable sleep solutions, competitive pricing, and personalized customer support.
