Mobilising International Research to fight COVID-19
About The Webinar
Welcome to another episode of the ICCA COVID-19 Briefing – an interactive video series where we explore the economic and health implications of this coronavirus pandemic, and what must be done to ensure successful recovery for businesses big and small.
The World Health Organisation has recently launched its COVID-19 accelerator, a landmark global collaboration which brings together the public and private sector to accelerate development, production and equitable global access to new COVID-19 health technologies. Will this be a model for the future?
