SME roundtable: Towards globally competitive European SMEs
2024-11-19 00:00 - 23:59
Europe is home to a vibrant community of Biotechnology SMEs contributing to the modernisation of the European industry. European biotechnology SMEs are the main drivers for innovation in healthcare, food and feed, industrial processes and manufacturing.

The Initiative on “Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU” published by the European Commission in March 2024 provides great prospects for EU SMEs. It highlights the EU ambition to deliver the benefits of biotechnology to support EU competitiveness and innovation alongside other global regions. One objective of the initiative is to identify ways to streamline EU legislation and its implementation to reduce Single Market fragmentation, explore potential simplification of regulatory processes, and shortening the time to market of biotechnological innovations.

In order to meet this objective, EuropaBio, the voice of biotechnology industries in Europe, will be hosting this roundtable to work as partners with all relevant stakeholders to guarantee the success of this Initiative. This roundtable session aims to provide a discussion forum for SME participants active in the sector to share their main driving forces and obstacles to accessing global markets and supply chains. The session will explore the essential elements required to speed up EU market access of biotech products.

This event will be followed by a dedicated report exploring the sessions outcomes.

EU Health Summit
2025-01-28 14:00 - 18:00
Healthy populations are essential for Europe to achieve its vision of a secure, competitive, and prosperous continent. Yet, European health systems are navigating a perfect storm: ageing populations, rising chronic diseases, and a health workforce under strain. European societies are facing combined cost-of-living, geopolitical, and climate crises with significant implications for healthcare.

Amid these challenges, we must not lose sight of the extraordinary era we are living in—one of rapidly advancing science and innovation, transforming health and unlocking new possibilities for Europe’s present and future generations.

Keeping the health sector high on the political agenda is essential for the well-being of Europeans, a resilient workforce, the growth of the EU economy, and the security of Europe. This is why, during this EU mandate, we need a robust and integrated strategy for health policy.

What needs to be done in practice?

Join the EU Health Summit on 28 January to help shape a roadmap for a healthier Europe.

Securing Europe’s biotech future - How can biosecurity drive competitiveness?
2025-04-09 12:00 - 14:00
Biotechnology involves the use of biological systems, organisms, or their components to develop products and solutions across industries such as healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing. In Europe, it plays an important role in advancing medicine, sustainability, and economic growth. Europe accounts for approximately 12% of the global biotech market, and discussions continue on how to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving sector. Biosecurity ensures biotech technologies are used safely by managing risks and maintaining safety standards.

Often viewed in the context of risk management and regulation, it can be overlooked that biosecurity can also play an important role in innovation and market leadership. Biosecurity approaches can affect trust in biotech products, their attractiveness to investors, the scalability of new technologies, and Europe’s position in shaping global standards. As synthetic biology and advanced biomanufacturing tools develop, discussions on biosecurity frameworks and their impact on investment, trade, and competitiveness are ongoing.

Finding a balance between biosecurity measures and innovation remains a consideration for policymakers and industry stakeholders. At the same time, Europe’s role in shaping global biosecurity standards is seen as a valuable exercise in its broader economic and security strategy.

Join this Euractiv Stakeholder Workshop with our Director General Dr Claire Skentelbery to explore how biosecurity can be a strategic enabler of Europe’s biotech future. Questions to be discussed include:

How can biosecurity strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in biotech?

How can the EU develop a biosecurity approach that supports industrial growth and innovation?

What role can Europe play in shaping global biosecurity standards while maintaining its leadership in biotech?
