And the student with the second highest score will be offered a position in the Barcelona Office of Alira Health, with a competitive salary and a bonus.
The Alira Health mission is to enable healthcare transformation by complementing the expertise of their clients with a full spectrum of patient-centric data and tech-enabled services to uncover opportunities, accelerate innovation and improve outcomes for patients around the world.

For the launch of a new product for treating diabetes, iCodec.
The Alira Health Challenge gives us a great opportunity to put into practice the theoretical concepts that we have seen in class so far. It encourages us to start thinking as professionals and to find creative ways to solve real-world challenges. Regardless of the final result, it would provide a great learning experience for our future careers."
- Francesco Berruto, International Master in Pharma & Biotech Management participant.
The Alira Health challenge has been presented to the students in February and they have until April 7th to work on the case study handed in. On this date the students will have to present the solutions to a jury formed by executives of Alira Health, Novo Nordisk and EADA. And on the 15th of April students will get the communication of the results of the case study presentations.
Students will face a real and important business case for a successful company. They will face similar cases many times in their professional life, especially if they decide to work in Market Access, one of the most exciting areas in the pharmaceutical industry.”
- Anton-Giulio Manganelli, International Master in Pharma & Biotech Management director.
We want to wish all the participants of the Alira Health Challenge the best of luck and remind them that hard work pays off. You can do it!
