Pharmaceuticals: Geopolitical Challenges, Industrial Strategies, and Health Sovereignty

Who controls the pharmaceutical supply chain in a fragmented world? How are states and companies redefining their strategies in the face of geopolitical tensions, shortages, and emerging dependencies?

To explore these critical challenges — including global value chains, critical dependencies, industrial policy, and pharmaceutical sovereignty — Maxime Lefebvre and Vanessa Strauss-Kahn are pleased to welcome:

• Frédéric Jallat, Professor at ESCP Business School, Director of the MSc in Biopharmaceutical Management
