About CEPI

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is a global partnership launched in 2017 to accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases. With a mission to ensure equitable access to vaccines during outbreaks, CEPI plays a crucial role in global health security.

CEPI focuses on funding and coordinating vaccine research and development, particularly for diseases that are often neglected by traditional funding mechanisms. By collaborating with various stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and the private sector, CEPI aims to create a robust pipeline of vaccines that can be rapidly deployed in response to epidemics.

One of CEPI’s core activities is to support innovative vaccine technologies, which can significantly reduce the time required to develop and distribute vaccines. This includes investing in platforms that allow for faster production and testing of vaccines, ensuring that they are ready when needed most.

CEPI also emphasizes the importance of data sharing and collaboration among researchers worldwide. By fostering an open environment for scientific exchange, CEPI aims to enhance the collective understanding of infectious diseases and improve vaccine development processes.

In addition to its focus on vaccine development, CEPI is committed to addressing the challenges of distribution and access. The organization works to ensure that vaccines are available to all countries, regardless of their economic status, thereby promoting global health equity.

CEPI’s vision is to create a world where epidemics are no longer a threat to public health. Through its strategic initiatives and partnerships, CEPI strives to build a resilient global health system capable of responding effectively to future outbreaks.

With a dedicated team of experts and a strong network of collaborators, CEPI continues to lead the charge in epidemic preparedness and response, making significant strides towards a healthier future for all.
