10.9.2023 12:25:30 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Celltrion Healthcare today launches a campaign to celebrate a decade of continuous biosimilar innovation in Europe. The campaign coincides with 10 years since the world’s first monoclonal antibody biosimilar infliximab, Remsima®, received regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Biosimilars have been pivotal in driving treatment advancements in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thousands of patients in Europe and globally have benefitted from biosimilars since their initial approval, incurring both patient health and economic benefits.1
In the previous decade, there has been an ongoing pursuit to continue improving treatments and maximising patient quality of life. This sustained innovation and evolution of biosimilars has delivered benefits beyond their reference product. The development of new administration methods has ushered in a new era, offering patients a more convenient and accessible treatment options which can be administered at home.
Alongside the wide-ranging patient benefits, biosimilars have delivered savings to economies and healthcare systems across the world. Several analyses have found that use of biosimilars in place of their reference product in Europe could save hundreds of millions of Euros. For instance, the use of infliximab biosimilar had saved approximately £100 million in a year in the United Kingdom alone, according to the announcement made by United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS).2
Taehun Ha, Senior Vice President and Head of Europe Division at Celltrion Healthcare, said, “We are proud to recognise the tremendous impact that biosimilars have had on patients in Europe. Efforts to make high-quality biologics more affordable have paved the way for the widespread adoption of biosimilars across the continent and supported in improving patient outcomes. We at Celltrion remain committed to creating innovative treatments that prioritise the needs of patients and expand their treatment options.”
Professor Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet, Head of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) group at the Gastroenterology Department of the University Hospital of Nancy, France, said, “Initially, we were intrigued by the arrival of biosimilars, especially with the first pivotal studies focusing solely on rheumatology. However, it became clear biosimilars offered a promising opportunity to reduce healthcare costs and improve the management of multiple diseases. Studies such as PLANETCD and NORSWITCH have added to the extensive evidence of their efficacy and safety, quickly reassuring us, in addition to our real-life experience. Biosimilars made it possible to reduce treatment prices - it was an economic revolution for patients and healthcare systems.”
In celebration of a decade of innovation and commitment to IMID treatment landscape, Celltrion is launching an innovative campaign across Europe. The campaign aims to highlight the positive impact of biosimilars to patients and healthcare systems, whilst reflecting on what the future could hold through continued innovation. Activities will include a global speaker tour, presentations by KOLs showcasing the latest clinical data, a report highlighting a decade of innovation and a celebration at United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) 2023 in Copenhagen.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those
