Life Sciences Update

9 December 2025Copenhagen

We are pleased to invite you to a high-energy, in-person event bringing together the industry and stakeholders from across the life sciences ecosystem to discuss the pressures and opportunities shaping the sector today.

You can expect concise, candid sessions that translate geopolitical turbulence, security and cyber resilience, evolving regulation and market access, and data-driven innovation into practical next steps for your organisation.

You will hear forward-looking perspectives on where policy and markets are heading, what to prioritise now, and how to convert compliance and risk management into value creation.

As always, engagement is central: lively Q&A after each session, and ample networking to compare experiences, test assumptions, and distil actions.
