Five industry associations representing pharmaceutical, biotech and medical technologies industries operating in Europe (COCIR, EFPIA, MedTech Europe, EuropaBio and Vaccines Europe) have come together to work on a Strategic Agenda for Innovation in Healthcare. This Agenda falls in the framework of the proposed European Health Innovation Public-Private Partnership (PPP) under Horizon Europe. Its objective is to guide future public-private research & innovation that would contribute – alongside other European research funding instruments - to addressing some key European healthcare challenges in an integrated manner.
Today, the private sector is interested to invest in a new health Public-Private Partnership and would like invite citizens, patients, health and research communities, national authorities, academia and scientific societies to provide their input to make sure that this Strategic Agenda:
- aligns with the needs of European health and research communities
- is both ambitious and feasible
- is clearly complementary with other European and national initiatives
Horizon Europe offers a thrilling opportunity to move to the next stage of innovation in healthcare, and contribute to improving European citizens’ health, strengthen health systems and create a thriving health R&D environment. It also offers further possibilities through the creation of institutionalised Public-Private Partnerships. The goal is to create a unique platform that does not exist anywhere else, a European multi-sector Partnership for health innovation. We strongly believe that by pioneering and de-risking multisector precompetitive collaboration we can together put Europe at the forefront of health innovation.
You have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed partnership and ask questions during a dedicated webinar on 4 November 14.00 CET – register here!
You can contribute to this consultation by filling in the online questionnaire until 24 November midnight.
