“We need to have long-term sustainability of the budget: demographically we will have an increase in certain health needs. Therefore, we need the industry to provide us with innovative technologies.”

Sandra Gallina
Director General DG SANTE, European Commission

“It’s important to acknowledge that our industry is global and it’s built on knowledge. We must ensure that Europeans have access to innovation.”

Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen
CEO of Novo Nordisk, President of EFPIA

“Most of the innovation is generated in the US, not in Europe. For the patients, this is a matter of access to science and clinical trials. So not having clinical trials in Europe is a huge problem.”

Antonella Cardone
CEO, Cancer Patients Europe

Our mission statement

Our mission is twofold: we aim to bring politics and business together in order to provide them with an opportunity to debate and pursue their common goals, giving a voice to all sides of the debate. The other priority of EBS is to provide European institutions with a platform where they can place their top priorities in the spotlight and advance the development of new pieces of legislation through discussion with a variety of actors and stakeholders.

Arnaud Thysen
Director General
