Keynote SessionsOur keynote sessions set the tone for the congress, bringing together senior leaders from across BioPharma R&D and Manufacturing to share their vision for the future of scientific innovation and operational transformation. These talks explore the strategies and roadmaps driving change, highlighting the technological, organisational, and cultural shifts needed to adopt emerging technologies, scale innovation, and deliver the next generation of scientific breakthroughs.
AI & Data Strategy “Innovation at Scale in R&D”
As AI and agentic systems become increasingly embedded in R&D, organisations are now focused on how to deploy and scale these capabilities effectively. Delivering meaningful impact requires robust data foundations, connected scientific knowledge, and a clear AI strategy. This track will explore how organisations are building the foundations needed to scale AI, from creating AI-ready scientific data and enterprise platforms to connecting knowledge and moving applications beyond proof of concept. Speakers will share how AI is being applied to accelerate research, improve scientific decision-making and enable new approaches to drug discovery and development.
Orchestrated Lab “Connecting Every Step of the Scientific Workflow”
As laboratory environments evolve there is an increasing focus on building a fully connected lab ecosystem, where workflows, data, robotics, and software platforms function together as one coordinated system. In this session speakers will discuss how they are capturing and contextualizing data, automating Laboratory workflows and implementing digital frameworks and platforms that enable connectivity.
Digital Transformation“Redesigning How R&D Works “
Digital transformation in R&D is no longer simply about digitising records, tools and existing processes. The next phase is about using digital capabilities to rethink how R&D operates, how scientists work and how decisions are made. This track will explore how organisations are redesigning processes, workflows and operating models to take advantage of new digital capabilities. Speakers will share the strategies, technologies and transformation roadmaps being used to create more connected and responsive R&D environments, support scientists and drive continuous improvement across the organisation.
Digital CMC“The Next Generation of CMC”
Building on the conference themes of AI, data, digitalisation and connected labs this track will focus on their application across the CMC landscape. Sessions will explore how organisations are transforming development, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory operations through digital technologies, connected data, automation, and intelligent systems. Speakers will share how they are building the digital infrastructure and data foundations needed to enable AI in CMC, modernise operations and create more connected, efficient, and resilient organisations.
Innovators Showcase“Reshaping the Future of R&D”
Hear from a carefully selected group of biotechs, pharmaceutical companies, startups, and technology innovators that are challenging conventional approaches to R&D. In this fast-paced new format, organisations will showcase breakthrough technologies, novel approaches, and bold ideas that have the potential to reshape the future of R&D.
