EHAB Vision

EHAB’s Vision is to strengthen the European landscape in Advanced Therapies and Biomaterials (AT&B) by building a European interconnected value chain and powerhouse to making cell and tissue related therapies available to all European citizens, seizing opportunities in key parts of the AT&B value chain, consolidating EU assets, notably SMEs and increasing its international competitiveness.
