“In recent years, CEBR has acquired a very relevant position in its ability to influence the research and innovation policies of the European Commission in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Italy, which represents the main drug-producing country in Europe, participates in the European Council of BioRegions with 5 regional clusters. It is a pleasure for me, which comes with a great responsibility, to represent the ecosystem of health innovation in Emilia-Romagna and to act as a connection point with the other Italian regions.”
