Event summary
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is hosting a roundtable meeting with stakeholders to mark the 20th anniversary of EMA’s SME regulation.
Representatives from the European Commission and the European Medicines Regulatory Network join EMA in presenting the achievements of the SME Regulation and perspectives on EU support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pharmaceutical sector.
Public and private investors along with life science incubators share their perspectives on the topic, and industry organisations have the opportunity to exchange views on challenges and future opportunities to support SMEs and innovation in the pharmaceutical and medtech sectors.
The SME regulation was adopted in December 2005 to promote innovation and development of new medicines by SMEs. Its primary objective is to provide financial and administrative assistance to these companies through the EMA’s SME Office.
Video recording is made available after the event.
