The event is sponsored by Siemens and co-sponsors are AtkinsRéalis and Exyte.
The ‘Facilities of the Future’ track is sponsored by Fedegari, while ‘Good Engineering Practices’ will be hosted by No deviation. Track Sponsors Cognizant and NNIT will host sessions on Digital Innovation and Digital Reality.
The Main Conference and 2 concurrent Open Tracks will address key issues:
Innovation and technologies including AI, machine learning, and data analytics, are transforming the future of pharma and biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Engineering Practices (GEP) are essential for maintaining high-quality production standards. Future pharma and biopharma facilities will be smart and automated, utilizing IoT, robotics, and continuous manufacturing to enhance scalability and efficiency. Effective maintenance will be crucial to ensure reliable, compliant operations.
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), such as gene and cell therapies, are revolutionizing treatment options but require robust Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) to ensure safety and efficacy.
ISPE Singapore’s annual Conference & Exhibition provides the best opportunity to meet members, friends and peers from the region’s bio/pharma manufacturing community.
This year’s annual gathering is expected to surpass its biggest event in 2024. The exhibition was sold-out last year and has been expanded to accommodate 30% more space and 110 exhibiting companies.
