2023 Pharma Manufacturing Conference

2023 Pharma Manufacturing Conference

Hall Garth Hotel, Darlington
Thursday 25th May 2023

The “Northern Powerhouse” is a key player in Pharma Manufacturing
 
With more than 1,300 life science companies operating in the region and producing over 50% of the UK’s total pharmaceutical output, the North of England represents one of the UK’s top pharma manufacturing locations.
 
Bionow’s Pharma Manufacturing conference will bring together industry, academic and regulatory experts to share ideas, collaborate and inform on this exciting and expanding sector to identify challenges and opportunities in the industry. This will build on respective areas of interest to better influence academia and Government Industrial Strategy to further support manufacturing in the wider life science sector.
 
The life sciences industry is constantly evolving and collaboration is vital
 
As the world re-emerges from a global pandemic and the UK continues to navigate Brexit, the sector continues to face challenges, from Annex 1 and regulatory changes, access to skilled workers, IP protection, additional manufacturing costs and sustainability. There are also fantastic opportunities in the form of AI and machine learning, new technologies, changing patient needs and increased outsourcing to CDMOs, which further highlights the need for collaboration and the sharing of ideas.
 
Join the conversation at Pharma Manufacturing 2023 as we showcase the world-class manufacturing capabilities in the North.
