Import Substitution and Exports for the New Times: Solutions that Strengthen Local Players

14 Jun , 10:00–11:30
‘Ensuring Drug Security’ Russian Pharmaceutical Forum
Pavilion G, conference hall G7

The policy of import substitution was established back in the early stages of development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry. Today, in the context of global challenges, the issue of drug security is no longer a theory, but a modern Russian reality. The national pharmaceutical industry is faced with the task of developing timely strategies to respond to the current agenda, the highest priority requirements of which include ensuring continuity of supply of strategically important medicines and medical devices, achieving technological sovereignty for the industry, and maintaining competitiveness in foreign markets, which the biggest Russian manufacturers have successfully achieved. What are Russian companies preparing for today, what kind of strategies are they choosing, and to what extent do those tally with the government’s demands? Is it possible to talk about trends in intensifying production cycles? What barriers currently stand in the way of achieving technological sovereignty? What measures can support the development of high-tech exports now that sanctions have been imposed? Are Russian producers ready to develop new markets and competences? What role do state corporations and large holding companies play in developing the production of materials, components, and raw materials?
