The US approves a $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Plan, creating huge opportunities for international companies

Government Contracts

After eight months of negotiation in the US Congress, finally the House of Representatives approved late on Friday the 5th the “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act”. With 228 votes in favor and 206 against, the decision had the support of most members of the Democratic Party (all its representatives except 6 voted in favor) and the rejection of the majority of the Republican Party, although 13 of its representatives also gave their approval. Given that the law had already been approved by the Upper House or Senate in August by a wide majority (69-30), it only awaits the presidential signature to become effective. This is a cornerstone of Biden's legislative agenda. It is an essential element of the “Build Back Better” plan, one of the pillars of his electoral program.…

Biopharma perspectives 2021-24 with Trump or Biden

Business Development

By Juan Rivera-Mata, Markentry USA Partner The US elections may entail different scenarios for the biopharmaceutical industry. During his term, Trump has tried to eliminate “Obamacare” (a law that, among other things, makes it mandatory for companies to provide health insurance to their employees), and Biden has used that possibility as a main element of his campaign. But, at the same time as the President, local and state officials are also elected, and the House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate are renewed. It appears that Democrats will remain a majority in the House, but the Senate, now Republican, may go "blue." Trump has appointed 3 members of the Supreme Court - for life -, making it (6/3) conservative. The obligation to have health insurance (and any subsequent reform) will…
