A Quality Perspective on Building an AI Strategy That Outlives the Technology

  • Why most AI efforts stall: chasing each new capability produces a portfolio of orphans, while a multi-year platform bet delivers nothing until it is finished — and is often obsolete before it lands.
  • Defining an integrated strategy that survives an accelerating technology landscape — anchored on your processes and your data, so the strategy outlives the tools underneath it.
  • Proving it in a live GMP environment: structuring deviation information at the point of capture to cut documentation time today while making quality data usable tomorrow.
  • Compounding the return: connecting deviations, CAPAs, controlled documents, audit findings and published inspection outcomes so patterns surface across products, sites and years.
  • Holding the line under pressure: validation, grounding and human-in-the-loop designed in from day one, and how to answer the "why aren't we using the newest thing?" question.

The Biologics and CGT Manufacturing DACH conference 2026 was very well planned and coordinated. It provided high-quality talks for staying up-to-date in our industry and I specifically enjoyed the time for networking.

Thanks for the invite to speak at the event. It was a really enjoyable meeting and a great opportunity to present our work to the community. Identifying key partners for ImmunoKey’s development plan is a critical aspect of getting our therapies to patients; the CGT and Biologics Manufacturing DACH meeting offered us the opportunity to engage with key CDMOs who can help us achieve this goal.

 Just back from an incredible time at the Biologics Manufacturing DACH congress! I have to be honest - as someone in Procurement, some of the deep-dives into Cell & Gene and biologics development were definitely above my scientific capabilities! However, the exchange of knowledge was fantastic, and it was a privilege to learn from such brilliant minds. A true highlight was the fantastic collaboration with Christopher Pawlak (PhD) . I had the privilege of co-hosting a round table with him focused on the impact of tariffs in the biopharma world. Christoph, thank you for the partnership - it was a truly dynamic discussion! 🤝 One of my biggest takeaways is that we have officially entered the era of "The Great Reshoring". We are moving past the days when drug manufacturing decisions were purely scientific; they are now deeply geopolitical. As we discussed in our round table, we can no longer just react to change. We have to treat scenario planning like a muscle that we train constantly to design for volatility. The event really hit home how much our world is changing - from the incredible progress in biologics manufacturing to the AI evolution. I’m excited to see how we can implement these insights to build resilience and benefit BMS biologics manufacturing. Back to my desk, I will start with socializing the learnings with my colleagues. A huge thank you to Drishti G. for the flawless organization and to Noel Murphy for approving the trip and supporting this critical learning opportunity!

A fantastic deep dive into the DACH region’s CGT landscape. This conference made one thing clear: efficacy is proven, but industrialization is the new frontier. To truly move the needle, we must look beyond the lab and focus on scaling automation, streamlining supply chains, and tackling COGS. The diversity of voices - from large corporations, to tech suppliers and academic pioneers - provided a 360-degree view of the manufacturing challenges we must solve together.
