Discovery and development of medicines is resource intensive and extremely costly, with an estimated spend of $2.6 billion to bring a new drug to market. Recent reports suggest 70% of Pharma companies anticipate that smart technologies will positively enhance early discovery, R&D and quality operations, improving overall lab efficiency, productivity and accelerating time-to-market.
However, a combination of strategy, vision, infrastructure, mindset and talent is a prerequisite to drive these types of results and ensure the successful integration and implementation of data-centric, technology-driven, smart labs.
Join technology, service and solution providers at the Future Labs, Automation and Technology Summit on 23 May 2023 in Boston, USA to collaboratively share strategies to facilitate the transition to digitally optimized, connected smart labs of the future.
