Europe is standing at a turning point in the fight against Alzheimer’s. With disease-modifying therapies becoming a reality for the first time, researchers, policymakers and advocates gathered in Milan to ensure the continent turns scientific progress into meaningful patient care.

From high-level calls for coordinated action to on-the-ground challenges faced by countries like Hungary, the “Mind the Future” summit revealed both the promise and the fragility of Europe’s readiness.

The message was clear: without structural reform, investment in early diagnosis, and clinical capacity-building, the gap between discovery and delivery will only grow wider.
