Patrik Zachar, Vice President Central Europe of Ipsen, shares how the company has built a strong presence in oncology and neuroscience in the CE region and the Czech Republic, quickly establishing market-leading positions in the indications they compete in.

The CE region is completely in line with the global strategy, and, in some respects, I would say we are one step ahead of the broader organization in its implementation
