The #HERAIndustryDays event has successfully concluded, bringing together a diverse mix of industry leaders, innovative start-ups, policymakers, and scientific experts — all with a shared mission: to shape the future of medical countermeasures (MCMs) and strengthen Europe’s preparedness for health emergencies.

Hosted by HERA (Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority), this flagship event provided:

➡️ Direct engagement with EU policymakers and funding bodies
➡️ Valuable networking opportunities with public institutions, academia, civil society, and private sector players
➡️ Insights into EU priorities and available support tools, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups.

A highlight of the event was Elisabeth Stampa’s (Chair of Medichem’s Board and Vice President of Medicines for Europe) participation in the high-level plenary panel, “Future-Proof EU Manufacturing: Competitive and Resilient Supply Chains for Medical Countermeasures.” Her contributions underscored the vital need to strengthen European #manufacturing and #supplychain #resilience as a pillar of future health security.

Participants walked away with new collaborations, fresh ideas, and a deeper understanding of how to navigate and contribute to Europe’s health security ecosystem.

As Europe continues to invest in #preparedness and innovation, HERA Industry Days has proven to be a key platform for turning ideas into action.
