Leadership At BioVision, Lyon.
(6 June – Lyon, FRANCE) - Today the European Biopharmaceutical Enterprises, EBE, is

announcement is being made following the meeting of the EBE Board in the context of the
EFPIA Annual Meetings (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and
Associations) and the BioVision International Conference in Lyon.
EBE’s 15 C-level strong board continues to be headed by Roberto Gradnik, Strategic Board
Advisor and former CEO of Stallergenes, who was re-elected for a second term. Mr Gradnik
has brought a significant change in the trade association’s new strategic direction, enhancing
its focus on emerging sciences and advanced technologies. To support the strategic direction

his efforts towards a financially sustainable EBE.
“I am delighted to continue working with such a dedicated group of senior leaders and experts
in the biopharmaceutical field. Together, we steer EBE in its efforts to advance the innovation
ecosystem, and translation of emerging sciences into concrete solutions that will help patients
in Europe”, stated Titta Rosvall-Puplett, Executive Director EBE.
“Excellent attendance at the BioVision Investor Conference held yesterday – an event to
which EBE members received free registration thanks to partnership with BioVision and
EFPIA – demonstrated the importance of collaborative networks and the need for a
multidisciplinary approach when it comes to financing innovation in Europe. I invite everyone
