Corporate Investors

The respiratory market place ranges from large international pharmaceutical organisations researching and delivering new therapies, to manufacturers and distributors of the latest technologies in diagnosis and alleviation of lung disease.
Our Society is supported by approximately 130 of these companies at our Annual Congress and throughout the year. This includes exhibition, advertising, sponsorship, educational symposia, grants for basic and clinical research and support for advocacy within the European Union.
This investment allows our Society the independence to fund important respiratory research and advance the never-ending goal of promoting and sharing improved respiratory knowledge and health to all the citizens of the European Community and beyond.
