Progress in animal health depends on the ability for Innovation and Regulation to work in parallel. This fireside chat explores how regulatory frameworks can enable responsible innovation, support timely market access, and maintain public trust.
The discussion will examine how regulators and industry can engage earlier and more effectively across the innovation lifecycle, from development through commercialisation, to better serve veterinarians, producers, and pet owners. Panellists will share perspectives on current priorities, emerging technologies, and the practical realities of aligning scientific progress with regulatory expectations.
