Breakthroughs in Life Sciences & Health only create impact when they successfully move from idea to implementation. This session explores how scientific innovation can be effectively translated into real-world value – clinical, societal, and economic. Leaders of different national growth funds as well as a start-up and a seasoned investor will share insights on navigating the valorisation pathway, from early-stage research and intellectual property strategies to market access, reimbursement, and scale-up. Through practical examples and lessons learned, the session highlights how to overcome common barriers and foster sustainable innovation ecosystems that accelerate patient benefit.
