Life Sciences Week

The story

In September 2025 we worked with EFPIA on Life Sciences Week, a four-day policy pop-up built around a single question: what does it actually take to move from discovery to delivery? Rather than treating policy, science and access as separate conversations, the week followed the full lifecycle — how ideas become medicines, how vaccines are developed, and what turns a breakthrough into a real-world outcome.

The programme covered pricing dynamics, access pathways, shortages and supply security, alongside disease-specific sessions on Alzheimer's, cardiovascular health and obesity. Blending open formats such as an “ask me anything” on access with focused expert conversations, it felt less like a conference and more like a working space — somewhere to test assumptions and share evidence.
