Janssen Belgium organizes a round table debate about how the Flemish and the Walloon biopharma ecosystems could reinforce each other to strengthen the position of Belgium globally. This panel exists of Vinciane Gaussin, managing director of Welbio, Baudoin Regout, advisor of Secretary of State Thomas Dermine, Philippe Denoel, Head of external R&D vaccines and Sonja Willems, Strategic Director of Janssen Benelux.
