Afternoon Session 1

The afternoon session focuses on the issue of supply chain. The past 5 years have brought this topic onto the front page of newspapers and TV news bulletins. The issue of supply chain resilience is of critical importance to the pharma biotech sector.

Emilija Matelyté from The European Medicines Agency will be joined by Bruce Warner to look at issues around supply and availability from a European perspective.

The afternoon session will also hear from two of the most respected names in pharma biotech industry associations. Both Paul Fleming and Dr Richard Greville will discuss how companies are dealing with disruption and building resilience into their supply chains.

The day will end with a questions and answers session between guests and speakers. Last year’s event had a vibrant questions and answers session and the 2024 event is sure to spark several topics for delegates and speakers to consider.
