Dear Esteemed Members & Partners –
In my many post-summer interactions with AmCham member company leaders, I am often struck by the pragmatism conveyed as related to change. Constant, unyielding and often painful, change seems to be at the forefront of your agendas, now more than ever.
During Arendalsuka, we learned that patient access to cutting-edge healthcare solutions requires a reboot (read “change”) of current procurement mindsets. Enhanced public-private collaboration is a lofty goal, but real-world programs like CONNECT – along with innovations from AbbVie, Cisco, Microsoft and others – are how we are going to make a lifesaving difference for Norwegian patients.
In Stavanger, together with Ambassador Marc Nathanson, we championed bilateral energy technology collaboration – in the Houston Pavilion – during a dizzying ONS week focused upon energy security and transition.
