Day 5-6 - Friday and Saturday, August 28-29
Life Science Diplomacy Alliance Summit
The Tallinn Summit will bring together investors, healthcare providers, policymakers, diplomats, corporate innovation leaders, startups, scaleups, CROs, CVCs, and ecosystem builders from across North America, Europe, and Australasia. Participants will explore how cross-border investment and strategic collaboration can be operationalised in a more volatile policy and funding environment. Unlike a traditional conference, the summit is designed to move from discussion to action—stress-testing real opportunities for collaboration, identifying what should advance toward the United Nations’ General Assembly in September, and building practical corridors among capital, industry, policy, and implementation. The summit offers an opportunity to showcase Estonia’s strength as a gateway for life science innovation, participate in dialogue alongside international capital and partners, and proactively support conversations with allied policymakers.
