Details

Recent disruptions in global supply chains and the shifting geopolitical landscape have underscored the need to strengthen strategic autonomy in key sectors, including biotechnology. This roundtable will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, scientists, and investors to discuss how Europe can ensure secure, sustainable, and competitive access to technologies, production capacities, and innovation in the biotech field. The discussion will cover topics such as developing local manufacturing capabilities for medicines, vaccines, and emerging technologies; reducing critical external dependencies; building a resilient innovation ecosystem; and the role of public-private collaboration in this process. The goal is to identify concrete actions that can help the European biotech sector move towards greater technological sovereignty without abandoning international cooperation.
