Pharmaceutical companies must “identify the forums where they can influence legislative processes and actively engage in them.”
NLP partner Joana Piriquito Santos, invited by Netfarma, discusses the need for increased investment and the expansion of clinical trials conducted in the EU, as well as the role of bureaucracy in Portugal.
Joana emphasizes that, to thrive, companies must be prepared to operate within an international legal framework: "We are living in a time of significant global transformation, with world trade slowing down, geopolitics becoming increasingly fragmented, and technological developments advancing at a pace beyond our capacity for regulation and adaptation. Portuguese companies operate within this global landscape and need a strategic vision for their positioning."
