And as you were speaking about, you know, long-term vision, investments, commitment, as the fact that you were the family owning the rights of voting for more than 50% enabled you as well to combine in the same entity a therapeutic and a diagnostic unit.

Yeah, I think that's a very good question.

I think because that's very much a point in case.

About 30 years ago, when I started on the company, we received the takeover bid from our neighbors.

What do you think is gonna be the top talking point here over the next couple of days?

I think you're absolutely right to set the scene in such a way, and thank you very much for, for inviting me.

Uh, this is a very fragmented world in which there is a, a lot of tension to try to sort of separate, disaggregate things.

Uh, our main activity at the forum is to try to find the platform where we can actually exchange.

I think over the years, and you've mentioned that you've been, uh, present at a lot of our meetings in Asia, but also of course, uh, i- in Davos, it is something that, uh, uh, h- we've earned the trust of coming to us to discuss about different things.

So we want... we'd like to define ourself as the leading platform of exchange between business, politicians, academia, uh, all sorts of opinion leaders, and now we need dialogue much more than ever before because, uh, geopolitical forces seem to be intent in dividing us.

Uh, uh, supply chains are shortening.

But again, where, where do you find that engine of global growth when China also, its domestic economy is sputtering?
