EuropaBio Biomanufacturing Policy Summit 2023: Where next for Europe?
Summit outcomes and next steps
27 April 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm CEST
On 15th March, EuropaBio hosted its first Biomanufacturing Policy Summit in Brussels, with the aim of setting the vision for Europe’s global innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability on biomanufacturing, while raising awareness among policy-makers. The Summit established a starting point, a first step for a long journey that needs to be traveled by all stakeholders in Europe – SMEs, large companies, expert services, and EU institutions – and which has already started in other parts of the world.
80 attendees from industry, national associations, and stakeholders across the public and private spectrum presented, debated, and proposed. In a fast-moving industrial transition, calls for visionary policies, enabling regulation, and urgent action were some of the key takeaways from the summit. You can see the March 15th Summit agenda here.
