The Bionow Pharma Manufacturing Conference goes Digital!

This years’ conference will be hosted over two days and will address the needs and requirements of pharma manufacturers who compete on the global stage.

Featuring pre-booked virtual partnering meetings alongside speaker presentations and panel sessions, this online event is not to be missed.

The conference will explore the challenges and enablers for pharma manufacturing in the North and start a conversation through which the Northern manufacturing sites begin to collaborate on areas of common interest and to better influence academia and Government industrial strategy to support manufacturing in this sector.
