Boosting Innovation and Competitiveness: Strategies for the Biopharmaceutical Sector in Europe

Following the publication of the European Union’s first life science strategy in four years, the BGD x UCB Roundtable in Brussels brought together leading voices from business and government to discuss the challenges facing the sector.
