Combating regulatory inefficiency

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

I was interested in reading the first page of a consultancy group:

A CONSULTING FIRM ESTABLISHED TO CONTROL THE SPIRALING COSTS AND INEFFICIENCIES ENCOUNTERED BY CLIENTS SEEKING APPROVALS TO MARKET CHEMICALS, PRODUCTS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, NANOTECHNOLOGY, AND MEDICAL DEVICE PRODUCTS. THE ACTA GROUP MANAGES PRODUCTS FROM CONCEPT TO APPROVAL, UTILIZING THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE OF PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE WORKED IN THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT AREAS IN GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY.

It seems that regulatory consultancy is a thriving business in chemical, biotech, cosmetics and soon, the nanotechnology sector. The group has a quite interesting links compiling nanotechnology regulations here, but too bad they are locked with passwords :)
