This closing session brings together pioneering voices at the intersection of AI, advanced computing, and biopharma to explore how a new intelligence layer is rewiring the entire life sciences value chain—from discovery to delivery. The discussion will examine how foundational AI, cloud-scale infrastructure, and digital platforms are reshaping R&D, clinical development, manufacturing, and patient engagement. The conversation will highlight not only breakthrough opportunities—smarter target discovery, more adaptive trials, real-world evidence at scale, and hyper-personalized care—but also the governance, ethics, workforce, and partnership models needed to harness these technologies responsibly in a highly regulated environment.

Learning Objective : Describe key ways AI and other advanced digital technologies are reshaping the life sciences value chain; Discuss concrete examples of how leading pharma and tech companies are using digital platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI to accelerate R&D and improve patient outcomes; Evaluate key risks and governance challenges associated with deploying powerful AI and data technologies in regulated life sciences settings, including bias, transparency, and accountability.
