TOPRA Innovation Summit 2023

TOPRA Innovation Summit 2023
TOPRA will be holding its inaugural Innovation Summit on 19 April in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). With the overarching theme of Innovation Driving Change, the Innovation Summit presents an opportunity to discuss and debate how to improve access to innovation in healthcare regulatory affairs.

The venue is NH Amsterdam Schiphol Airport hotel which is conveniently located just ten minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and easily accessible by car and public transport.

Why attend?

The event will provide a forum for leaders and senior regulatory affairs professionals drawn from across the industry to review what innovation should look like over the next 3-5 years.

As the professional body for regulatory affairs professionals working in the pharmaceutical, medical device/IVDs, and veterinary industries, TOPRA's role is to support them through times of change and to facilitate robust debate on the vital topics which influence the regulatory landscape.
