The director general of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) has announced his intention to stand down.

Mr Bergström took up the top position at the trade group in 2011, having previously been director general of Swedish research-based pharmaceutical industry association LIF, and been a member of the EFPIA board for a number of years.

He said: “I am proud to leave EFPIA at a time when we have developed policies that promote innovation and patient access, such as through the focus on outcomes and on adaptive pathways to speed up the development of new medicines. After 15 fantastic years leading industry associations in Sweden and in Brussels, it is time for me to take on a fresh challenge.”
