Mission & Interests

Goals: Since its inception in 2016, the BEAM Alliance has succeeded in uniting European Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) working in the field of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). SMEs are recognized as the driving force of today’s innovation in the field of unmet medical need but are facing a now well acknowledged market failure. The BEAM Alliance gives its members a unique voice to propose and support policies and incentives in Europe to fix the market failure. The ultimate goal is to create market conditions attractive enough to pull back the needed support from investors and industrial partners, key stakeholders to bring medicine candidates from R&D stages to the patient. For most stakeholders in the field of AMR (including governments, patients, industry representatives and other policy makers), BEAM is now recognised as a unique contributor helping our understanding of the complex array of cross-disciplinary issues (science, finance, and policymaking).

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The BEAM Alliance is following any legal and regulatory actions intended to improve the current antimicrobial resistance (AMR) market landscape. The BEAM Alliance has thus a special interest in so-called “PULL incentives” that can facilitate the market uptake of innovative solutions against AMR. PULL incentives include financial rewards, improved valuation and pricing methodologies or reimbursement mechanisms. The BEAM Alliance also has a special focus on funding instruments able to de-risk R&D activities (so-called “PUSH incentives”). From a wider perspective, the BEAM Alliance follows all evolutions linked to the fight against AMR (stewardship policies, access to critical medicine, etc.) and more generally policies related to SMEs and innovation. In that regard the BEAM Alliance is interacting with the EU institutions in relation to the following files and policies: EU Action on Antimicrobial Resistance Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe EU pharmaceutical legislation (Directive 2001/83/EC and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004) Communication on “Building a European Health Union” Europe’s Industrial Strategy SME Strategy EU R&D funding (Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe)
Communication Activities: As part of its activities, the BEAM Alliance is in constant interactions with stakeholders involved in the fight against AMR at the international (WHO, UN IACG, European Commission, EMA, ESCMID, EUCAST, Global AMR R&D Hub, etc.) and national (ministries of health) levels. The BEAM Alliance is mainly delivering its vision and propositions through position papers (https://beam-alliance.eu/our-actions/) and invited speakers to conferences and forums, such as the AMR conference (https://amr-conference.com/). The BEAM Alliance is also particularly active during the World Antibiotic Awareness Week (18-24 Nov), and aims at organising roundtables involving stakeholders from different horizons (including European Commission, European Parliament and other national representatives).
