Global challenges – European solutions – Medicon Valley contributions
When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, others build windmills, according to an old Chinese Proverb. And the winds of change are indeed blowing. The global order and the security and trade architecture which we have taken for granted for decades is challenged from both east and west.
From a Medicon Valley perspective and as part of a truly globalized industry we need to figure out if we are to build shelters, windmills, or both, who to team up with and how to go about it if we are to secure innovation, growth and resilience. Hence, we have chosen the Annual Summit title “Global Challenges – European Solutions – Medicon Valley Contributions” pointing to some of the key points to be addressed at the MVA Annual Summit 2026.
Join us at the MVA Annual Summit 2026 for a day focused on exploring the exciting trends in Medicon Valley and beyond.
Date: Monday, 2nd November, 2026
Time: 9:30 – 18:00
Venue: Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport, Ellehammersvej 20, 2770 Kastrup, Denmark
