Industry spotlight – challenges and opportunities in the PMB sectors

Numbers show that the pharma, medical & biotech (PMB) sectors generated just under EUR 13bn worth of deals in H1 2024 in the Nordics, a more than fourfold increase from the same period the year before. This growth is a direct consequence of the strength in R&D and innovation, triggering interest from international buyers and investors in the sector and in the region. The panel will look at the potential for further growth within this and related industries that will contribute to the overall regional growth, as well as identifying which are the other sectors to watch in the year ahead.

  • Sectorial analysis: How are the pharma, medical and biotech sectors driving investment activity in the region, and which other sectors are particularly affected?  

  • Impact of internationalisation on the sector: How are M&A deals boosting the marketing edge, penetrating new segments of the market, securing cutting-edge technologies and improve R&D?

  • Exit opportunities within the PMB sector: Which are the risks and the rewards?

  • A quick overview of the other emerging sectors: Technology, retail and consumer sectors, energy and infrastructure, mobility and digital – which sector will be top of the league in 12 months’ time?
