INTrODUCTION

The pandemic guidelines for the state of New York, and recognition of the safety and com-fort of our stakeholders, have catalyzed a format shift for the October 29 Galien Forum to an hybrid format (live + digital), with all events (Forum and Ceremony) conducted from the Alexandria Center for Life Science and via remote video link.

While we continue to plan for an exclusive invitation-only live, in person event (strictly reser-ved to the Committee Members, Officials, the Panelists, individuals directly linked to submis-sions, Sponsors), we must be ready to conduct it virtually, under a modified program.

Please find a summary of milestones below, as well as our thinking on innovative program-ming for a Galien Week of Innovation during the week of October 26.

2020 mILEsTONEs

Our objective is to offer the best visibility for biomedical innova-tion, as well as our nominees and sponsors, particularly given this year’s record high level of company participation.

As a result of the Committee’s efforts, and following the July 22 announcement of our top candidates list (data analysis hyperlin-ked here), 67 products from 54 companies across 13 therapeutic areas have been registered for consideration in the three award categories of best biotech product, best pharmaceutical product and best medical technology.

All told, this is an extraordinary and diverse display of innovations that have advanced the state of care for patients worldwide.

There is an additional milestone in that we will be celebrating on October 29: the inaugural Prix Galien USA award for Digital Health here.

Given the disruptions of the global pandemic, finding new ways to highlight the Prix Galien’s mission and accomplishments is both relevant and timely.

It is also necessary to preserve the significant influence we have achieved, exemplified by the ethics and independence of your Committee in selecting the many new technology breakthroughs we celebrate each year.

This is why we propose additions to the October 29 programming to generate more public awareness of the Prix Galien in sup-porting medicines innovation and to foster better engagement between our award nominees and the larger patient, regulatory, and health care communities.

l A press release announcing the “Galien Week of Innovation” during the entire week of Octo-ber 26, centered on the October 29 Galien Forum and Prix Galien Awards Ceremony, based on the theme “Promise for Patients is our Prize: Join the Galien Foundation for a Week of Discovery and Celebration of the Frontiers of Biomedical Innovation.”

l A series of award-category-focused webinars, with a focus on the best medical technology on October 26; the best biotech on October 27; and the best pharmaceutical product on October 28. Each webinar audience would be comprised of 5-10 nominee representatives. We are currently pursuing similar webinars approach for a/the Digital Health and Startup environment which in prior years has been conducted simultaneously with the Galien Forum at the Alexandria Center For Life Sciences in New York and b/ Ethical challenges related to Covid-19
