    • As the pressure mounts to deliver advanced therapies faster, cheaper, and closer to the patient, decentralised manufacturing is stepping into the spotlight. But does breaking away from centralised models really deliver on cost?

Are localised manufacturing hubs the answer to cutting costs, or do they introduce new layers of complexity and hidden spend? From infrastructure investments to regulatory headaches, we’ll separate financial fact from fiction and explore whether decentralisation is a bold leap forward or an expensive detour.
