Context: One Health is described by the WHO as an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals and the environment. The challenges of supporting human longevity encompass many aspects of this such as the development of affordable curative medicines for chronic diseases, better surveillance and interventions to manage healthy ageing, increased understanding of nutrition, better quality food and its security and sustainability in agriculture and how we live. The interplay between the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment is pivotal. Many scientific and technical advances are furthering understanding and enabling progress and much has an -informatics or -omics or -informatics tag such as bio-informatics, chemi-informatics; genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and more. Of course, a huge impact on societal change is econ-omics and how we address health inequalities, attract investment into One Health innovation to create a healthier more sustainable future.

Interdisciplinary and indeed inter-industry learning and collaboration are required for such innovation. The East of England is very unusual, if not unique in having a world class presence of innovation and R&D in areas including biomedicine, agritech, cleantech, advanced manufacturing and data science. An opportunity to create significant and global One Health impact through collaboration thus exists at close quarters. This session will hear case study examples from those operating in these key sectors that exemplify current excellence followed by a discussion on how the various sectors could collaborate to achieve the One Health aspirations.
