Efforts to develop a strong and competitive biopharmaceutical sector in Greece were discussed in an online meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the relevant government ministers, and the heads of top pharmaceutical firms and experts on the front line of the global fight against the pandemic, ANA reports.
The meeting, held on Sunday evening, focused on creating a road map of practical proposals.
As the prime minister noted, the challenge was how to make the transition from the current vibrant but not exactly cutting-edge domestic pharmaceutical industry to one based on research and innovation, that can play a critical role in the increasingly important biopharmaceutical industry and greatly contribute to the country’s economic growth.
The industry representatives, many of which have investments in Greece, noted a need to improve the current framework, calling for changes in licensing procedures, less bureaucracy, better technological infrastructure, and tax reforms.
