Health security is no longer a health question.
It is decided in trade policy, industrial strategy and foreign affairs. I speak about what that shift means for the people who have to act on it.
Topics
- 01 Keynote
The molecule and the map
Why a country that cannot make its own active ingredients does not have an independent health policy, and what rebuilding that capability actually costs. Uses the 2020 export restrictions as the opening case.
- 02 Keynote
Who owns the genome of a nation
Population genomics has turned health data into a strategic asset. Who holds it, who can analyse it, and what happens to states that hand both to someone else.
- 03 Panel
Europe, the Gulf and the speed of institutions
Europe built the pharmaceutical industry and is debating resilience in committee rooms. The Gulf started from nothing and is moving faster. What each is getting right, and what neither is admitting.
- 04 Closed briefing
Health sovereignty for boards
A working session for executive teams and investment committees: where dependency sits in your own value chain, which parts are politically exposed, and what can realistically be changed.
