Executive Summary
Tigermed Consulting, one of China's largest CROs, has accepted the first round of capital injection from Qiming Venture Partners and will move into a rapid expansion stage. The funds will be used to improve the firm's high-quality service delivery system as well as recruit top talent worldwide to gear up for more international CRO projects. As one of the few CROs in China that can conduct global multicenter trials, Tigermed positions itself as a rival of multinational CRO Quintiles, with focus on talents rather than clients. The company boasts more than 50 percent of its employees are armed with a Master's or higher degree, and a staff turnover rate lower than 10 percent. Tigermed's business in 2007 outperformed its 100 percent growth the previous year. (Click here for more - Chinese Language)
