About the seminar:
This initiative aims at providing a greater insight of the pharmaceutical industry, particularly its interconnectivity with many elements in today’s global economy and politics. The keynote will focus on Europe’s attractiveness as a centre for biopharmaceutical investment in the current global context of securing long-term competitiveness and navigating increasingly strained trade positions, and explore what elements ultimately make a region attractive.
