About the European Biomanufacturing Summit

Our European Biomanufacturing Summit is designed to provide biopharmaceutical and biomanufacturing executives with current trends in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, advances in cell and gene therapy, and CMC pharmaceutical development. The strategic insights regarding biotechnological developments, best practices in manufacturing, drug delivery, outsourcing, capacity management, quality assurance, quality control, regulatory compliance, operational excellence, supply chain, and logistics are among the topics that will be covered.

What sets our executive biomanufacturing conference apart from other biotechnology conferences is its specially curated program and C-Suite and VP-level speakers. We’ve designed the optimal platform to learn about the latest trends in biotechnology in Europe and global biomanufacturing insights. Network with over 250 of your fellow biopharma leaders, as we explore strategies to maximise efficiency while remaining compliant in this ever-evolving environment at the 2026 European Biomanufacturing Summit.
