Access Heads of Agency Meeting 21 October 2025

The Access Heads of Agencies met in person on 21 October 2025. Among other topics, the meeting focused on shaping the way forward for Access development, guided by the newly refreshed strategy.

The Access Heads of Agencies are pleased to share our renewed vision and commitment through our Access GROWTH Manifesto. This manifesto represents our collective aspiration to grow and advance regulatory cooperation to enable innovation, strengthen trust and accelerate access to safe, effective and high-quality health products to over 150 million patients across Access member countries. Through our shared commitment to GROWTH, we aim to transform and shape a harmonised, trusted, forward-looking and patient-centric global regulatory ecosystem through close engagement and collaboration with our stakeholders, positioning Access among the industry's preferred filing pathways.

The Access Consortium is reviewing existing initiatives and processes in light of both the strategic objectives set out in the 2025–2028 plan and this GROWTH Manifesto. This includes exploring opportunities to further enhance work-sharing and regulatory reliance procedures, strengthen engagement, and improve predictability for industry partners. As part of this process, the Access Consortium is working towards the development of a roadmap that will support more efficient collaborative review pathways and reinforce its value proposition for all stakeholders.
