Local and regional production can, under appropriate conditions, contribute to sustainable access to quality-assured, safe, effective, and affordable health technologies, more secure and resilient supply chains, and innovation. Realizing these benefits depends on a broader enabling ecosystem, including effective health regulatory systems, sustainable investment, absorptive capacity, coherent trade and intellectual property (IP) laws and policies, collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and access to regional and global markets. Drawing on their complementary expertise, the three collaborating organizations aim to foster dialogue on the health, IP, and trade policies that can support such enabling ecosystems.

The Symposium will consider: 

  • The conditions needed to build enabling ecosystems for local and regional health products manufacturing, including health systems, IP frameworks, and trade policies.
  • The demand-side challenges that need to be addressed to make local and regional health products manufacturing commercially viable.
  • The roles different stakeholders can play in developing and sustaining resilient health ecosystems, including through cooperation, regional integration, partnerships, technology transfer
  • The lessons that can be drawn from national and regional experiences and initiatives, including the successes and challenges encountered by different stakeholders and how they have been addressed.
  • The potential and challenges of new technologies, digital health, and artificial intelligence (AI) to contribute to building enabling environments to strengthen innovation and manufacturing capacities for health technologies.
