"One of the major objectives of the European Union (EU) is to build the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010. A key element of this objective is the strengthening of the science base in Europe. The biopharmaceutical environment is characterized by its focus on science and innovation. It is therefore essential to revitalize the biopharmaceutical research and development (R&D) environment for Europe to become more competitive. Furthermore, strengthening the biomedical R&D environment will benefit patients and society by increasing the efficacy of drug discovery and development. The Innovative Medicines Initiative proposes clear practical paths to accelerate the development of safe and more effective medicines by joint public and private collaborations."
