The Industry Engagement Forum has launched

On 8 October 2026 the Mental Health Goals Programme (MHG) launched its Industry Engagement Forum at King’s Venues at London Bridge. The launch meeting brought global CROs, pharmaceutical, biotech and digital health companies, the ABPI and ABHI together with the programme’s workstream leads.

The morning set out the UK landscape, with State of the Nation perspectives from the ABPI and IQVIA, followed by short talks from each of the programme’s workstreams. In the afternoon an industry roundtable chaired by Prof. Vaibhav Narayan discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of running Phase I–III studies in the UK, breakout groups discussed how to build earlier strategic partnerships, and the Forum was formally launched.

The presentations from the day are now on the Forum page, published with the speakers’ permission. The meeting report will follow.
