On 6 June 2023, Alzheimer Europe hosted a Company Round Table meeting in Brussels. The meeting was a hybrid event, with many participants attending in person and some joining remotely. It was attended by a total of 33 delegates, including company representatives from Alnylam, GE Healthcare, Grifols, Hoffman-La Roche, Novo Nordisk, Nutricia and TauRx, members of the Alzheimer Europe staff, members of the Alzheimer Europe Board and representatives from 18 member organisations of Alzheimer Europe. During the meeting, four speakers provided updates on recent policy and research developments.
First, Cindy Birck, AE Project Officer, gave an update on our Clinical Trials Watch. Next, Owen Miller, AE Project Officer, shared some updates on EU policy developments, European Parliament elections and European Dementia Monitor. Simone Mohrs from MedTech Europe gave then a talk on the European Union AI Act. Finally, Jean Georges, AE Executive Director, informed participants about Alzheimer Europe’s activities in 2023 and the work plan and sponsorship opportunities for 2024. We would like to thank our sponsors and members for participating in this meeting and we look forward to welcoming them to the next Company Round Table meeting in September.
