🧬 This week, EuropaBio held its March Council & Board meetings — a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of biotechnology and tackle upcoming legislation like the EU Biotech Act! Here's a quick recap: 🔴 Healthcare Biotech Council: Focused on the General Pharmaceutical Legislation, Critical Medicines Act, and EU Biotech Act. 🟡 Industrial Biotech Council: Tackled the EU Biotech Act, Nagoya Protocol, Digital Sequence Information and the Bioeconomy Strategy. 🔵 National Associations Council: Addressed the EU Biotech Act, EU/US Trade Relations, and the EU Life Sciences Strategy. 💡EuropaBio holds its Council meetings three times per year, in March, June and November. It is the moment when its members gather together to reflect on the work done so far and set the priorities for the upcoming months. A big thank you to our board members & members for their time, insights, and valuable discussions. See you this summer for the June 2025 Councils!

Less than a week to #CEBIOForum2025! 🥳   EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries is co-hosting with BioForum, the Polish biotech national association, the latest session of our National Associations Council Presidency of the EU discussions.   Our DG, Dr. Claire Skentelbery, is moderating 'A Biotech & Life Science Roadmap"- How investment can reach European Start-ups and Scale-ups? The roundtable will cover: 🧬 How we can improve smart investment for national and regional life sciences clusters. 🧬 How #biotech can help regional development while bridging innovation ecosystems, especially in Eastern, Baltic and Western Europe. 🧬 Recommendations for the upcoming EU policy proposals, including the Life-Sciences Strategy. 📍 Warsaw 📅 April 2nd, 12h CET If you will be in Warsaw, drop us a message! 🔗 More info at https://lnkd.in/e3jcMsZ6   With Ireneusz Staroń, Dr. Agata Wancio, Agnieszka Grzegorczyk, PhD, Jeremy Launders, Łukasz Kościjańczuk, Eliza Milewicz, Dominik Lipka PhD Eng., Igors Berkovics, Andrii Shekhirev, Petra Kinzlova, Wojciech Nowak, MA, EMBA (IMD), Magdalena Kulczycka,Ph.D., Agne Vaitkeviciene 

Join us next week for a webinar organised in partnership with the EMA and other industry stakeholders! This session, will explore how EMA assessment outputs can support regulatory reliance pathways, helping to streamline the approval of variations (CMC, clinical/safety) efficiently and sustainably. ➡️ Find out more & register here https://lnkd.in/eWPJDZey

A strong EU 🇪🇺 🧬 A secure and resilient EU will provide solutions to strengthen the #biotech value chains from R&D to end-users, leveraging international partnerships. 🔗 Read more about what EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries is doing to deliver a bold #EUBiotechAct at: https://lnkd.in/d2_2ENVP

Last week, we submitted our response to the European Commission's call for Evidence for an evaluation of ''EU rules on medical devices and in vitro diagnostics.'' Lack of streamlined interaction between CTR and MDR/IVDR with lot of regulatory burden on sponsors is severely impacting patients. EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries calls for a harmonised framework leading to a more predictable environment for sponsors. By reducing over-complexity and inconsistency also through the review of the CTR and the coming #EUBiotechAct, the EU can boost competitiveness and ensure faster access to new treatments to patients. 🔗 Read the full consultation below or at: https://lnkd.in/eqjdnC7A
