GEOPOLITICAL FIRESIDE TALK
Albright's Geopolitical Fireside Talk is designed to bring together executives from Pharma, Medtech and Biotech companies in Denmark for a private and rich conversation about major trends in geopolitics and their impact on companies in the Life Sciences sector.
In the Life Sciences space key words such as de-risking' og 're-shoring' has been on the agenda since Covid, and now more than ever, Life Sciences industry leaders worry about the frosty relations between the US and China and the future relations between the US and Europe, concerned about the associated risks for their businesses.
Health has become a matter of national security in the US and Europe as exemplified by the BIOSECURE Act passed by the US Congress in September 2024. The Act will require pharmaceutical manufacturers to end or adjust relationships with Chinese contract manufacturers, and will have wide reaching consequences also for companies in the Danish Life Sciences space.
At the event, we will navigate the geopolitical landscape, together with US Geopolitical Expert, Rasmus Søndergaard. Rasmus is Senior Researcher at Danish Institute for International Studies and holds a PhD in American History.

Albright's CXO Retreat is designed to bring together selected Pharma, Medtech and Biotech CXO's for rich conversations about major trends in geopolitics, economics, technology and the environment.
At the CXO Retreat we provide the space for CXO's to think, exhale and imagine.
Inspired by Kearney, this year’s CXO Retreat will address the crucial question: “What if?”
We are living in an era defined by polycrisis—facing a multitude of geopolitical, environmental, economic, and demographic challenges—where will we be a decade from now? How will this impact our industry, our businesses and our risk landscape? How can we start preparing now for what is coming?
THE CEO RETREAT HUNTING LODGE
By scanning the forces shaping the longer-range business environment—diligently exploring pivotal “what if” questions arising from the transformations, shocks, and vulnerabilities that define our current predicament—we as leaders can better position ourselves and our companies for what is to come.

BREAKFAST SEMINAR FOR SR. EXECUTIVES & DEALMAKERS IN LIFE SCIENCES
It is critical for the success of companies in the Life Sciences space, that their investors, board and top management are in fact fit and proper to undertake their respective roles. A recent study from Albright Partners A/S reveals, that within the areas of Regulatory/Quality Assurance, Operations/Supply Chain, Talent Management, and Market Access many key decision-makers seem to be struggling with fully getting their arms around the business risks associated with the aforementioned areas. Essentially, reflecting the tremendous complexity that comprise Life Sciences companies.
Unfortunately, the C-suite themselves are also struggling to prioritize their own well-being, in spite of 41% feeling stressed, 40% feeling overwhelmed, 36% feeling exhausted, 30% feeling lonely and 26% feeling depressed. Poor well-being results in poor quality of life and work, impacting both leaders and their workforce, hence investing in well-being at the C-level, not only benefits the C-suite but the entire organization.

BREAKFAST SEMINAR FOR TOP LIFE SCIENCE EXECUTIVES
THE HOLISTIC EXECUTIVE:
WHY TOP EXECUTIVES MUST PRIORITIZE THEIR WELL-BEING
​
Why is it important to address the well-being of top executives?
In a recent (2022) study conducted by Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence of 1,050 C-level executives in the US, Europe and Asia/Pacific, a concerning lack of well-being among C-suite executives are being depicted. Up until now, only little attention has been paid to the well-being among the C-suite - hereunder how they’re coping with all the heightened pressure and the increased demands placed upon them.
Unfortunately, the C-suite themselves are also struggling to prioritize their own well-being, in spite of 41% feeling stressed, 40% feeling overwhelmed, 36% feeling exhausted, 30% feeling lonely and 26% feeling depressed. Poor well-being results in poor quality of life and work, impacting both leaders and their workforce, hence investing in well-being at the C-level, not only benefits the C-suite but the entire organization.
