We invite you to our exclusive Apéro event, bringing together digital minds from the pharma and labtech industries. Despite years of progress, we still too often have the feeling that labtech providers and pharma don’t speak the same language when it comes to how lab instruments and systems should be designed to drive digital and automated workflows. Join us to collaborate with decisive thinkers from various labtech and pharma companies on discussing solutions that drive digitalization and automation within and across pharma R&D and QC laboratories. As groundwork for AI-enabled drug development, these efforts hold the promise to accelerate both efficiency and effectiveness in pharmaceutical research!

Our leading topic for discussion and succinct working groups: "Road to AI-enabled drug development: Aligning lab needs and vendor solutions to drive lab automation and digitalization".

This is a prime opportunity to connect with like-minded decision-makers in the labtech and pharma industry in a relaxed atmosphere.

Date: 2nd of September 2025
Time: 5.00 PM to 8.00 PM
Location: ART HOUSE Basel

What to expect:

• Short pitch presentations in context of our leading topic: Explore engaging keynote-style presentations, each lasting 10-12 minutes. Details about the speakers can be found below.

A summary of the insights will also be shared after the event with every participant.
• Open discussion & networking: Make new contacts and share your ideas and perspectives on how to drive lab digitalization and automation with fellow peers from both worlds.
