Ponto de vista da Brakke Consulting
As mentioned in last week’s viewpoint, several Brakke consultants including myself participated in the AHNTI conference in London.

The event saw strong attendance, drawing nearly all major animal health companies and much of their senior leadership. Additionally, a wide range of affiliated organizations—including CDMOs, suppliers, and consultants —were present.

O tema central foi "Inovação", explorado por meio de diversos palestrantes e debates envolventes. Embora a inovação seja crucial para o crescimento do setor, as agências reguladoras enfrentam desafios constantes para acompanhar o ritmo e garantir a aprovação oportuna de novos avanços no mercado. O investimento também é um componente fundamental, principalmente para startups independentes, mas ainda há uma significativa escassez de financiamento de capital de risco disponível na área de saúde animal para apoiá-las.

In my opinion, unless we improve regulatory processes and expand investment opportunities, innovation in animal health will remain more of a discussion point than a reality.

Sua visão 
Semana passada we asked you to how likely you thought the CVM would have meaningful and significant reforms by 2031? 61% felt that some improvements would be made by then, with another 26% felt that little to no improvements would occur. Only 13% were optimistic that a lot of improvements can be expected by 2031.

Essa semana:
March madness ramps up this weekend when the bracket for the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament is officially revealed.
