## About

CEPI – the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations – is a new international non-profit coalition aspiring to build a system that can tackle the barriers to develop vaccines against those epidemic infections for which the usual commercial incentives for development are inadequate. CEPI will advance safe, effective and affordable vaccines that can help to contain outbreaks at the earliest possible stage. CEPI was founded in August 2016 by the Government of Norway, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, the World Economic Forum, and India’s Department of Biotechnology.

CEPI wants to stop future epidemics by developing new vaccines for a safer world.

Vaccines are one of the world’s most important health achievements. Yet their life-saving potential hasn’t yet been realised for many known and unknown epidemic threats, particularly in low-income countries, where the risks and needs are often greatest.

**Vision**

Vaccines contributing to preventing outbreaks of emerging infectious disease from becoming humanitarian crises.

**Approach**

CEPI will build a new system to advance the development of safe, effective and affordable vaccines, ensuring that price is not a barrier to access for populations most at need. This will offer the world an insurance policy against the growing threat from emerging infectious diseases. CEPI will be a partnership of public, private, philanthropic and civil organisations to stimulate, finance and co-ordinate vaccine development against priority threats, particularly when development is unlikely to occur through market incentives alone.

CEPI will pursue a proactive (“just-in-case”) and accelerated (“just-in-time”) vaccine development strategy for epidemic threats by:

- - Moving vaccine candidates through late preclinical studies to proof of concept and safety in humans before epidemics begin, so that larger effectiveness trials can begin swiftly in an outbreak and small stockpiles are ready for potential emerg
