Hi everyone. We’re here in Switzerland, in front of Lake Zurich, just outside of Zurich, Switzerland. We just wrapped up a week of meetings all over the country, and it was a really fantastic set of meetings. Rich, for you, what were some of the key topics or themes that came up throughout? There’s a lot going on in the healthcare industry.

I’d say even though the pandemic is over, we still had a number of companies that were talking about dealing with COVID in their businesses. The other thing that really stood out was what’s happening with these GLP-1 weight loss drugs. A lot of impact across the industry and a number of companies talking about how that’s affecting them.

We’re obviously super focused on GLP-1. It’s a huge market trend. Interesting to see companies involved in the supply chain and how they’re all working together.
