bio.be/essenscia’s annual event on September 26th focuses on the opportunities in the light of ATMP and how Belgium paves the way in Europe.
In recent years Belgium has developed an expertise throughout the entire value chain: from R&D, clinical trials, bioproduction all the way up to logistics.
During this event, you will get inspired by several top speakers and we’ll tackle the following questions:
- What are the main regulatory challenges and opportunities?
- What’s the value of digitalization throughout the end to end value chain?
- How to embrace Belgium’s CDMO expertise?
- What’s needed to strengthen the regional talent centers with a specific ATMP focus?
- And how can Belgium further grow as center of excellence in these topnotch ATMP technologies
and therapies?
