Industry Outlook 2025: European Geopolitical Impact on Pharma
BioPharm International® spoke with Alexander Seyf, CEO and co-founder of Autolomous, about the impact geopolitical changes in Europe might have on the bio/pharmaceutical industry.
Political shifts in the United Kingdom and Europe may have a negative impact on research efforts for gene therapies performed by universities and other research organizations, says Alexander Seyf, CEO and co-founder of Autolomous. However, the impact on the bio/pharmaceutical industry is more likely to be minimal.
“The established companies in Europe, they still have a huge market in [the United States], and we've seen the growth and establishment of these companies expanding their operation to the United States and elsewhere in the world,” Seyf assures. “So, [because of the BIOSECURE Act], they might actually also consider [expanding] their activities in Asia. And the UK government gradually, but certainly, they [will] start also realizing they need to put more support through Catapult, cell and gene therapy, and other activities to boost the industry. [It] is a very ample opportunity for United Kingdom to put itself back in the map for cell and gene therapy and for new medicine.”
