Small and medium-sized enterprises info day

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is organising a hybrid SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) info day on 18 October 2024.

The SME info day is a training event dedicated to small and medium-sized enterprises in the pharmaceutical sector. It highlights programmes and initiatives and provides updates on regulatory topics related to medicines for human use. This year’s event covers various topics such as EMA scientific advice, clinical trials, medical devices, the new EU HTA regulation, the new EMA fee regulation and medicine shortages.

In addition to the training event, there will be an opportunity for SMEs to engage with EMA staff during the lunch break. This "Meet EMA" event is designed to increase awareness of the various support tools available at EMA for medicine development. EMA staff from relevant areas such as the Innovation Task Force, Scientific Advice, Orphan, and Paediatric Medicines will be present to answer questions and provide information.

The event is open to companies assigned SME status by EMA and representatives of stakeholder organisations. Furthermore, it will be broadcast and recorded for interested parties to follow the proceedings.

A video recording will be made available after the event.
