European life science competitiveness: Why IP is fundamental

On the occurrence of the EU presidency, we place the spotlight on suggested EU-legislations affecting IP-rights in the life science industry. With examples from the Swedish life science arena, we show the importance of IP-protection in the journey from academic research to products and therapies for patients.

In a quickly transforming world, the game is changing for the life science industry. An industry coming out of the pandemics with strong confidence of its importance, but where protectionism, nationalism, war and financial turmoil interfere with global just-in-time supply chains. At the same time, regulations and legislations change with the best intent for the benefit of patients. But how do these changes affect the industry’s possibilities for innovation and development of the therapies of the future?

Welcome to a seminar that highlights the importance of IP-protection throughout the life science innovation process where academic research is transformed into products and companies to fight diseases and sustain healthy life.

Moderator: Lotta Ljungqvist, chair of IVAs division of Biotechnology and chair of SwedenBIO.
