The 2023 ISPE Biotechnology Conference in Dublin from 26-27 June 2023, will give an overall view of the development and manufacturing of biotechnology products.

For the current originator pharmaceuticals, like mABs or vaccines, the challenges to increase productivity, process intensification, flexibility, and agility are distinctive when it comes to mass production. The conference will present and discuss modular facility design and collaborative project delivery.

The focus is on different challenges for innovative, biosimilar, and follow-up biotechnology products, like cell and gene therapy, Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs), and mRNA-based products – such as vaccines. The conference will feature presentations with a focus on time to market, shortened submission approval times, product transfer, new concepts for control strategy, quality oversight, manufacturing, and logistics.

The 2023 ISPE Biotechnology Conference will focus on the overarching themes that represent learnings from the originator pharmaceutical products that can be applied and transferred to the (new) biosimilar and follow-up biotechnology products. Methodological enablers for process development, supply chain resiliency, and more critically, driven by the energy crisis, sustainability will be the primary focus of our event. Discussions will be presented and considered within the current regulatory framework.

The conference will provide a leading interdisciplinary platform for all stakeholders of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical value chain to present recent innovations and trends, and openly discuss practical challenges and solutions, from a technical, logistical, and regulatory perspective.

The impact of the evolving regulatory environment and the need to ensure continued innovation and continuity of the supply chain, considering the current energy crisis and assuring preparedness for future crises, will be integrated throughout the conference programme and panel discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, regulators, and peers through networking events and the conference programme.
