On Monday 4 May, the European Commission will host the Coronavirus Global Response pledging event.

During this international conference, governments and business leaders will announce their pledges for the development and universal deployment of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines against the coronavirus.

To develop and deploy safe, effective and affordable diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines against coronavirus, the European Union is joining forces with global partners to kick-start a pledging effort – the Coronavirus Global Response – starting on 4 May 2020. Countries and organisations around the world are invited to make pledges and to help reach the target of €7.5 billion. European Commission President von der Leyen said: “We need to bring the world, its leaders and people together against coronavirus. We will launch a global pledging effort. A real marathon. Beating the coronavirus requires a global response and sustained actions on many fronts. We need to develop a vaccine, to produce it and deploy it to every corner of the world.”

The European Union is joining forces with France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Norway and Saudi Arabia to kick-start a global pledging effort – the Coronavirus global response – starting on 4 May 2020. President von der Leyen will invite Heads of State and Government, as well as additional partners from across the world to pledge to help reach the target of €7.5 billion in initial funding. The funds will help develop and deploy effective diagnostics, treatments and a vaccine which are universally available and affordable
