The Pandemic Preparedness through Pathogen Detection (P3Dx) innovation programme is organising a symposium on the future of testing. In doing so, we will deliberately look beyond pandemic preparedness alone. How can test innovations help prevent or limit societal disruption? What role can diagnostics and biotechnology play in addressing challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, pressure on healthcare systems, and defence? And how can innovation strengthen our strategic autonomy in the Netherlands and Europe?

During the symposium, we will explore the choices needed to make testing faster to deploy, more scalable, and more effectively applicable in times of crisis and beyond. Speakers from public health, biotech, MedTech, defence, and infectious-disease diagnostics will share practical lessons and their vision for the future of testing and biotechnology.

Alongside the plenary programme, there will be interactive break-out sessions in which participants jointly explore how innovations can move more quickly into practice, policy, and the market.

Programma

Het programma bestaat uit een plenair deel met sprekers en interactieve break-outsessies.

Are you working in biotech, healthcare, agriculture, or government on diagnostics, infectious diseases, innovation, or crisis resilience? Then we invite you to join us on Thursday 28 May for the P3Dx Symposium.

We look forward to meeting you and exchanging ideas that will shape the future of testing.
