THE TOPIC

Discovery and innovation are the backbone of  Pharma, Biotech and Medtech.

Advances in digital and artificial intelligence are accelerating research breakthroughs, triggering increasingly personalised and curative therapies.

Gene editing, precision medicine, bi-specific antibodies, longevity research and many other areas offer previously unheard-of opportunities, but create also new challenges for regulators.

The environment for sector companies and healthcare providers is very challenging.

Sustainable practices in research, development, and manufacturing are gaining importance. Geopolitical tensions cause disruptions in supply chains and talent movements. Large pharma seeks innovative technologies and therapies, which can give rise to an M&A boom and make the environment even more competitive.

Regulators and patients alike expect proven effectiveness of drugs and treatments, more value for money and more transparency.

Some say that we have already entered the golden age of Pharma, Biotech and Medtech, but what does it take to adapt to the ongoing and emerging changes?
