Securing the Future

Imagine a world where the next viral outbreak doesn’t catch us unprepared – one where the epidemic or pandemic potential of the world’s most deadly viruses is contained before outbreaks can spread, and where scientific progress has laid the groundwork for protecting the world against pathogens it hasn’t even seen yet.  

This is the future CEPI was created to build. 

In less than ten years, CEPI’s model of innovation and partnership has reshaped what is possible. We have shown that vaccines can be developed in record time, that equity can be embedded from the start, and that collaboration across borders can transform the world’s ability to protect itself. 

Our next five-year strategy, CEPI 3.0, charts a path toward this new era of global health security. It describes a world that can be ready—not unprepared—when the next threat emerges, whatever its origin.  

At its heart lies the 100 Days Mission: a goal to enable the world to develop safe, effective and accessible vaccines within 100 days of identifying a new pandemic threat.  

To achieve this, CEPI 3.0 will strengthen vaccine development across the pathogens and viral families most likely to spark new outbreaks, advance platform technologies that can be rapidly adapted to the unknown, and weave together innovative networks for research, manufacturing and regulatory readiness so they can act as one global system when new threats emerge. 

COVID-19 showed the deadly cost of being unprepared. CEPI 3.0 shows the protective promise of being ready. With the right investment, the world can be properly prepared—ready not just to respond, but to contain outbreaks before they escalate into crises.
