Have your say – leave a message! The drive for everything happening in the life science and MedTech industries is determined by humanity and its increasing need for healthcare. The customer, or in other words, the patient’s illness will steer the innovations and the related supply chain model and logistics. What are the three major trends influencing healthcare and its innovations in the foreseeable future? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion with Frank Van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, and get prepared for future healthcare logistics. Critical trend - the rapid growth of the global population: "We have reached 8 billion people and it's growing faster even as we speak. And probably by the end of 2024, we would have 8.2 billion people." Major challenge - reaching underserved regions with essential treatments: "The second biggest challenges will be seen in how to bring treatments, how to bring medication to at this moment still very difficult to reach areas in the world." Emphasizing the need for orchestrated collaboration among stakeholders to streamline healthcare logistics processes: "You need different stakeholders that are orchestrated in one standard way to make sure that from manufacturing the treatment or the drug or the vaccine or the therapy to deliver it to the patient you have at least five to nine to eleven stakeholders involved." Underscoring logistical hurdles: "If you look at Sub-Saharan Africa, only three to four airports are at this moment capable of receiving different types of treatment." The transformative potential of advanced therapies like Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) in revolutionizing healthcare delivery: "It's wider than only one thing. So I think if you look at the newest drugs that come to the market, let's name them, ATMP, Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, that are very, very promising in the treatment of cancer." The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance healthcare logistics by predicting supply chain outcomes and optimizing delivery routes: "AI is an accelerated use of data and analytics to improve healthcare treatments."

Have your say – leave a message! Gain invaluable insights into the multifaceted approach to sustainability within the pharmaceutical industry and discover how diverse stakeholders can collaborate to address its most critical aspects. Join Frank Van Gelder and his guests offering first-hand accounts of their efforts to drive sustainability forward: Janet Wallace, Managing Director Cargo Operations & Transformation, Air Canada Kristof De Smedt, Global Business Unit Director, Cold Chain Technologies "How we look at sustainability is to help the life science healthcare industry to optimize packaging but not downplaying performance. Quality is paramount, we should not give in on the performance of our products but we are indeed actively looking to reuse solutions, find other insulative materials, etc." "I don't think we can turn a blind eye to it. From my perspective, the customer is going to take me there regardless, so I need to get on board and better understand what all these requirements are and figure out how I'm going to try to meet those requirements. So there's a lot of education to be done." "Sustainability and acting aligned with that is going to come as a condition of employment. If we can't follow that trend or we cannot actively participate, we will basically be out of business, because it's around us. There are a lot of ideas, but I see that there is no strict standard yet. There is a lot of talk on CO2 reduction, etc., but there's no clear guideline yet, so that will come, but the early adopters will be the ones that continue and have a long-term plan." "I think the gap between packaging solutions and the airline is the customer. The customer is driving where my attention is going to be focused. They evaluate the airlines based on the trade lanes and our ability to become sustainable. So when we're looking to compete within the marketplace, we need to meet the customer expectations and the customer is detailing exactly where we need to be." "We need to get to the point where we're looking at empty miles, what's moving around the planet and how is it coming back. The reverse logistics becomes paramount." "The earlier you start the discussion with all the stakeholders, the better the solution that comes out. Not all airports are created equal, and not all handlers are created equal, so even when we participate in the evaluation of the trade lanes, sometimes we have the aircraft, we have the packaging, and we have the customer, but we just don't have the handling capabilities to meet that and we have to opt-out. Because that's the truth." "Anybody who's going to be developing a plan to participate in any kind of mitigations is going to have to have a long view and make some investments up front that will only benefit us in the long term. And those are difficult business cases to build and pass along because everybody wants to reap the rewards immediately."…

Also, they might have projects to pass on to students. - Challenges: sometimes, a lack of patience, as the companies are used to having very quickly reports from consultants. At the academic level, it is rather slower research. - The academics can support the business, and help them structure the challenges, and identify opportunities and threats. "We cannot do research, especially on our field, which is supply chain management, out of an ivory tower. For us particularly, networking is absolutely key." "Connecting with the industry segment is tremendously important: it opens doors for yourself, for your research, but also for the students, for internships."…
