Nearshoring involves moving production and services to nations nearer a company’s primary market, a trend gaining momentum across Europe. Firms cite shorter lead times, lower transportation expenses, and reduced exposure to geopolitical disruptions as primary incentives. The strategy sits alongside reshoring and onshoring as firms redesign supply chains for greater resilience. European manufacturers are increasingly eyeing Eastern European hubs to balance cost efficiency with market proximity.
The discussion centers on the emerging complexities of conjugated lipid nanoparticle (LNP) manufacturing, a shift from standard platform processes toward targeted RNA delivery.
