We are thrilled to have Boehringer Ingelheim join us again as sponsors!

For more than a century, Boehringer Ingelheim, together with its partners, has been transforming the lives of people and animals.

In 2023, the company generated €25.6 billion in global sales, reaching a record 61 million patients, and many more millions of animals, with its treatments and preventive therapies. Boehringer also invests heavily in future innovation, with an industry-leading research and development spend of €5.8 billion, or 23% of sales, to discover and develop the next generation of pioneering therapeutics.

Supporting this innovation ambition is Boehringer’s global community of partners that brings valued new ideas and new science and complements the company’s internal R&D skills and expertise. These collaborations are rooted in scientific excellence and a shared passion to address unmet needs in human and animal health.

Boehringer has learned over the generations that the challenging path towards health innovation requires long-term commitment, resilience, and transformative action. Their goal is to improve the health and lives of humans and animals – a goal that inspires the company’s 53,500 employees, across a global network of over 130 markets, to make a real and significant contribution to the health of humans and animals alike.

“BioFIT is an important event in our annual partnering calendar. It’s one of the few opportunities where we can meet partners in both human and animal health. We look forward to taking part once again and to get inspired by the latest science and the potential this offers for patients.”

The Ageing of Man and Animal: crafting longer, happier and healthier lives for an ageing population of Pets and People through collaborative translational approaches

 
Sponsored by: 

 

Zoetis, the world’s leading animal health company, invites you to explore how human and animal health can converge for the mutual benefit of people and companion animals. While technological advancements in human and veterinary nutrition and medicine have helped to extend the lifespans of humans and pets alike, with a larger population of elderly patients we witness a corresponding rise in the incidence of certain chronic and age-related health conditions. Innovative solutions to enhance the care and quality of life for both people and our animal companions are more necessary than ever.
This session will explore how cutting-edge innovations in human medicine can be harnessed to enhance the quality of life of aging pets, and how data generated in animal patients can accelerate the development of human medicines. As we delve into the shared pathways of chronic diseases between pets and people, we will discuss the potential for startups and innovators in the human health sector to contribute to the progression of veterinary medicine while creating additional revenue streams for their businesses. We will discuss the scientific and regulatory parallels that guide the development of medicines across both industries, emphasizing the mutual benefits that arise from this interdisciplinary approach.
Join us to discover how the latest breakthroughs in human health can pave the way for transformative therapies in animal care, ultimately leading to a longer, happier and healthier future for our cherished four-legged companions.
