At the opening event of #ScienceBEAT2024, themed “Scientific Excellence at the Intersection of Generations,” we celebrated the convergence of the past and future of science. 🌟 We awarded scholarships to outstanding young talents, supporting the next generation of innovators and leaders in their academic and professional journeys. 🌟 To further strengthen our commitment to progress, we’ve signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the three largest universities in Slovenia - University of Ljubljana, University of Maribor (Univerza v Mariboru) and University of Primorska (Univerza na Primorskem). 🌟 We are proud to have once again brought a world-renowned scientist to Slovenia, this year Nobel Laureate Sir Gregory P. Winter, who has provided our participants and associates with valuable, in-depth insights into his groundbreaking work. 🌟 Sir Winter also participated in on a panel discussion, where he and Sandoz's Scientific Officer Claire D'Abreu-Hayling, spoke about the importance of collaboration and connecting various stakeholders to achieve breakthrough innovations, as well as the values and personal characteristics necessary for achieving excellence. #ScienceBEAT2024 #Lek #Sandoz #Career #STEM

Gregor Makuc, Head Corporate Affairs and Chief Executive Director, Jure Vajs, Head of Strategic Programs, Nobel Laureate Sir Gregory P. Winter and Helen Teasdale, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy, had the honor of meeting with the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, PhD. The meeting focused on key themes that are crucial for Slovenia's future: the intersection of science, entrepreneurship, and industry. They discussed the importance of fostering stronger connections between these sectors to drive innovation and economic growth. A central point of discussion was how, as a nation, we can further promote collaboration in these areas to maximize their potential and impact. Another important topic was the need to inspire and encourage young people to pursue careers in STEM fields. By sparking interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we can ensure that the next generation is equipped with the skills to lead in an increasingly technological world. The dialogue was both inspiring and productive, and we’re eager to see what future collaborations will bring. Foto: Matjaž Klemenc/UPRS #Lek #Sandoz #Collaboration #STEM #Innovation

Naš tim iz Razvojnega centra Slovenija je prejemnik zlatega nacionalnega priznanja za najboljše inovacije. 👏🥇 ✅ Kot prvi na svetu smo na osnovi lastnega znanja in z inovativnimi pristopi razvili generično zdravilo za zdravljenje anemije, ki vsebuje zdravilno učinkovino železove karboksimaltoze. ✅ Zdravilo, ki je v celoti proizvedeno v Sloveniji, smo leta 2023 lansirali na evropskem trgu ter s tem bolnikom zagotovili dostop do varnega, učinkovitega, kakovostnega in cenovno dostopnega zdravljenja. ✅ »Ponosna sem na naš tim, ki je s predanostjo in medsebojno podporo dokazal, da se lahko uspešno soočamo z najzahtevnejšimi farmacevtskimi izzivi. Nenehno sledimo našemu poslanstvu premikanja mej za bolnike in tudi v prihodnje si bomo prizadevali, da z inovativnimi pristopi in rešitvami zagotavljamo boljšo prihodnost za vse tiste, ki nas najbolj potrebujejo,« je dejala vodja projekta Lidija Vranicar Savanovic. ✅ V Leku se zavedamo, da so inovacije ključnega pomena za izpolnjevanje vedno novih in kompleksnejših potreb družbe. Tudi naše zadnje naložbe so usmerjene v širitev razvojnih zmogljivosti in krepitev vloge Slovenije kot ene ključnih Sandozovih lokacij za razvoj generičnih in podobnih bioloških zdravil.

V sodelovanju z Društvom za zdravje srca in ožilja organiziramo spletni seminar, na katerem bomo spregovorili o tem, kako prepoznati znake slabokrvnosti pri bolnikih z boleznimi srca in ožilja. 🩸 💡 Hiter tempo življenja, neustrezna prehrana, stres in pomanjkanje telesne aktivnosti vodijo v številne bolezni. Neprepoznana oziroma prepozno zdravljena slabokrvnost lahko osnovno bolezen še dodatno poslabša in pomembno vpliva na kakovost življenja. Vse, ki vas tematika zanima, vabimo, da se nam pridružite na spletnem predavanju, na katerem bo gost doc. dr. Matevž Škerget, zdravnik specialist za zdravljenje krvnih bolezni. 📅 11. september ⏰ Ob 18. uri 📍 Facebook stran (https://lnkd.in/eAtFPCtD). Prijavljeni lahko do predavanja dostopajo na povezavi: https://lnkd.in/ey7bPDZF

V Leku sledimo viziji samostojnega Sandoza – postati vodilno in najbolj cenjeno podjetje za generična in podobna biološka zdravila na svetu. Da bomo lahko poslovne načrte podprli še bolj učinkovito in še bolj odločno premikali meje za bolnike, je skupščina Leka d.d. sprejela odločitev o spremembi sistema upravljanja družbe. Nova struktura nam omogoča optimizacijo in poenostavitev korporativnega upravljanja ter uskladitev z drugimi družbami v skupini Sandoz. Z novo strukturo v Leku dobivamo tudi novo vodstvo. Z današnjim dnem vodenje Leka d.d. v funkciji glavnega izvršnega direktorja prevzema Gregor Makuc, direktor Korporativnih zadev. S 1. oktobrom 2024 prevzema tudi vlogo predsednika Sandoza Slovenija. Robert Ljoljo, MBA, MSc., dosedanji predsednik uprave Leka in predsednik Sandoza Slovenija, je v zadnjih petih letih z jasno vizijo in strateškimi odločitvami družbo uspešno vodil v zelo zahtevnem obdobju. Pod njegovim vodstvom smo s številnimi naložbami postavil trdne temelje za nadaljnji razvoj Leka in prispevali h globalnemu uspehu skupine Sandoz. Robertu se iskreno zahvaljujemo za več kot 26 let predanosti podjetju, v katerem je pustil izjemen pečat na različnih vodstvenih delovnih mestih.

We were honored to have Anne Marie D., Head of Biologics & Injectables Operations at Sandoz, represent us at the “Navigating the Global Flux: Disruptions and Prospects in Trade, Economy, and Industry Dynamics" panel during the Bled Strategic Forum. ➡️ In her remarks, she touched upon how the pharmaceutical industry can remain competitive in Europe, current dynamics, and the workforce and skills developments the industry requires – as well as Slovenia’s important role in our overall operations. ➡️ Under the title “A World of Parallel Realities”, this year’s Bled Strategic Forum focuses on working together for the common good; by listening and understanding beyond our own views at a time the international community is dealing with increased instability. ➡️ Our participation highlighted our ongoing commitment to close collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Government of Slovenia (Vlada Republike Slovenije), as we work together to shape the future of our sector. ➡️ We are proud to be a founding partner of the Slovenia Biotech Hills initiative, which was officially introduced at the Bled Strategic Forum. This initiative aims to position Slovenia as a key player on the global biotechnology map by promoting collaboration, establishing a resilient ecosystem, and creating a competitive, investment-friendly legislative environment with strong government support. #Lek #Sandoz #BledStrategicForum #BSF2024 Photo: Marko Arandjelovic
