This event is organised by the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) and is supported by the EU Commission and the US Department of Commerce. The underlying factors creating common challenges in Healthcare on both sides of the Atlantic range from demographics to pandemics or chronical diseases, to name but a few. This event aims to focus on the role and contribution that innovation and transatlantic innovation policies can play in addressing these challenges. The conference will bring together leaders from the private sector, academia and governments with a direct interest in the creation and use of innovation in Healthcare with a view to develop new thinking and show new cooperative ways on how to face and address these challenges. Concrete recommendations summarizing the results of these discussions should inform and guide future policy decision by the EU and US governments in this area.
TABD Mission Statement
For nearly 60 years, the transatlantic relationship has drawn its strength and durability from many different forms of partnership, notably in the political, economic and security areas.
The Transatlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) - which is the key interlocutor with government on the transatlantic economic relationship - has been renewed under fresh leadership and with a 30-strong business advisory board consisting of CEOs from companies across a range of business sectors in the EU and the US. This will bring a changed focus as well as another source of energy for the economic partnership in its own right, while also recognising the need to ensure that the economic, political and security relationship is rooted in an awareness of our common interests and values.
A strong transatlantic relationship enhances the capacity of the US and the EU to jointly influence global developments for the benefit of all countries, whatever their stage of development.
The TABD believes that neither side should take transatlantic economic ties for granted and that both should work harder to avoid the periodic regulatory and trade conflicts that trouble the relationship. But the economic agenda must look beyond conflict avoidance and management to develop joint responses to common global challenges. We shall play our part in pro-actively identifying those challenges and recommending appropriate responses through well-informed policy advice based on positions determined through the direct participation of our member companies chief executives.
