Thank you! Australia is very fast -- they have a decentralized system of institutional and private ethics committees to approve trials, rather than the regulator deciding centrally, though the regulator retains the right to halt any trial at any time. They also have a generous tax credit for startups doing R&D there.

I've written about the Australian clinical trial system and the reforms I think India needs to accelerate our slow and archaic framework twice recently:
