Publication of the BEAM Alliance’s Position Paper
September 30th, 2015 | Posted by in News - (Comments Off)The BEAM Alliance urges European and national public authorities to take three key short term actions with immediate effect: (1) create a specific fund dedicated to small and medium biopharmas developing innovative antibacterial products, (2) enhance market incentives to increase the Return on Investment for products tackling antimicrobial resistance through the creation of a special status, (3) simplify regulatory pathways for products tackling antimicrobial resistance.

Date: March 2015
Launch of BEAM Alliance – Biotechs of Europe innovating againts Anti-Microbial resistance
MISSION
The BEAM Alliance intends to:
•Regroup European emerging biotech companies who are involved in developing innovative products to tackle antimicrobial resistance ;
•Represent them with a unique voice to propose and support policies and regulatory solutions to member-identified problems;
In order to reinforce the attractiveness of this therapeutic area, support the development of new products and accelerate market access of such new products for the European patients. The Group seeks to collaborate with the existing community of stakeholders dedicated to implementing tangible solutions to combat this serious public health issue. Our mission is to recommend incentives that warrant further consideration and action to policymakers and others to overcome these challenges and address the threat of antibacterial resistance, now and in the future.
