Europe’s Biotech Moment: What the Biotech Act Must Deliver
Tuesday September 29, 2026 12:15 - 13:00 CEST

In particular, the discussion will focus on some of the proposals expected to have the greatest impact on the industry, including Strategic Projects, financing pilots, the extension of the Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC), and measures to accelerate clinical trials.
