3. Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement

Build and maintain relationships with local regulatory bodies, policymakers, and academic institutions to advocate for the use of RWE in healthcare decision-making.
Establish partnerships with local healthcare systems, leading joint evidence generation activities and supporting population health models.

4. Internal Team Development and Knowledge Sharing
