Investments in Health: Development of New Drugs, Medical Equipment and Products

Description

Creating a new drug or medical device is always a long journey: years of research, substantial investments, trials, certification, and only then serial production. How can this path be followed so that a promising development turns into a sought-after product rather than remaining at the idea stage? Participants of the session will discuss the financing of pharmaceutical and medical-technical projects, the localization of substances, materials, and components, the organization of trials and the introduction of domestic products into clinical practice, Moscow’s opportunities: advanced industrial sites and special economic zones, cooperation of enterprises with scientific and medical organizations, instruments of support for investors, and the formation of long-term demand. We will consider the entire path of the product — from research and prototype to production, supplies, and support of application. The focus of the discussion is the distribution of risks among project participants, confirmation of the efficacy and safety of the products, as well as the conditions under which investments truly ensure the accessibility of modern solutions for patients and medical organizations. It is precisely at the intersection of science, production, and practical healthcare that a product is born which changes the quality of life.
