Combatting cancer: how innovation actors are changing the landscape
Join us for the EPO Observatory's next free online event on Thursday, 1 February from 10.00 to 11.30 hrs, when we explore the dynamic intersection of patents and technology with the battle against cancer. In a world increasingly driven by technological momentum and by governments committed to combatting global public health issues, it is essential to understand how the innovation landscape is evolving to fight diseases such as cancer. The EPO has a key role to play in disseminating the technological know-how contained in patents, including those patents that protect new solutions for cancer treatment and diagnostics. Don't miss this opportunity to attend a ground-breaking debate!
