Across Europe, world-class cancer research discoveries are being made – yet too often they take too long to reach patients. The gap between research, decision-making, and real-world impact remains one of our greatest missed opportunities.
Momentum brings together a carefully curated group of leaders from across sectors -
policymakers, healthcare leaders, patient representatives, researchers, industry and
investors - all with a shared ambition: to accelerate Europe’s action on cancer.
Through roundtable discussions and co-creation sessions, participants engage
directly with the barriers holding progress back and contribute to shaping solutions.
Selected speakers will offer perspectives on key issues such as funding, regulation,
data, clinical trials and the uptake of innovation.
If you want to be part of shaping a more competitive Europe that delivers faster,
better outcomes for patients – this is where that work begins.
Welcome to Momentum.
