PharmaConnect 2026
System Changes for Better Health
Copenhagen | 27–28 May 2026
European health systems are undergoing profound transformation. Innovation, artificial intelligence, new business models and evolving patient expectations are reshaping how medicines are developed, distributed and accessed — all against a backdrop of demographic pressure, fiscal constraints and growing geopolitical uncertainty.
PharmaConnect 2026 brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, healthcare professionals, academics and patient representatives to explore how Europe can adapt its health architecture to these systemic changes — and how to safeguard equitable, reliable access to medicines for all.
A forum for resilience, equity and access
Systemic wholesalers stand at the heart of Europe’s pharmaceutical supply chain. Every day, under comprehensive public service obligations, they ensure the delivery of medicines to pharmacies across Europe — playing a critical role in continuity of care, territorial cohesion and crisis preparedness.
Yet this essential function is increasingly challenged by structural shifts: changing consumption patterns, pricing pressures, new market entrants, digitalisation and rising expectations from patients and authorities alike. PharmaConnect 2026 provides a dedicated space to rethink how Europe’s health systems — and their critical infrastructure — can remain sustainable, resilient and fair in an era of rapid change.
What to expect
Over two days in Copenhagen, PharmaConnect 2026 will:
- Analyse the major transformations shaping European health systems, from artificial intelligence and innovation to new economic and care models
- Examine the role of systemic wholesalers as public service providers within a changing health architecture
- Foster high-level dialogue between institutions, industry, healthcare professionals and civil society
- Encourage forward-looking discussions on the future of pharmaceutical distribution and health systems in Europe
The conference combines keynotes, panels, fireside chats and interactive discussions, alongside dedicated networking moments designed to facilitate meaningful exchange and collaboration.
A flagship European health event
PharmaConnect has become a recognised platform for strategic dialogue within the European health ecosystem. The 2026 edition aims to further strengthen its role as a flagship event, generating insights that support policy development, reinforce cooperation across the supply chain and contribute to a shared vision for better health outcomes in Europe.
