We are pleased to invite you to the BRIEC event ‘Pharma of the Future: Changing Business Models’, which will take place at 2 p.m. on 30 September 2026 at Johnson & Johnson, Leonardo da Vincilaan 15, 1831 Machelen.
As part of the Belgian Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community (BRIEC), FEB, Agoria, essenscia and pharma.be invite you to an afternoon exploring the future of healthcare and life sciences.
The sector is undergoing profound transformation. Advances in data, artificial intelligence, personalised medicine and new forms of collaboration are reshaping how innovation is developed, delivered and financed. Traditional business models are evolving, creating both new opportunities and new challenges for companies, healthcare providers and patients alike.
This event will bring together innovation leaders, healthcare experts and industry practitioners to share practical examples, inspiring insights and real-world experiences. The session will be opened by Pedro Facon, CEO of RIZIV-INAMI.
More details will be available soon at https://briec.be/.
Interested? Register today to secure your place.
We look forward to welcoming you.
