Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7th Annual
Digital Transformation & AI in Bioprocess
Into the Digital Future
August 12 -13, 2026
Biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly harnessing the power of digitalization, machine learning, and AI to drive scientific and operational excellence from process development to manufacturing. From data integration, digital twins, and modeling to AI applications and advanced process control, the Digital Transformation and AI in Bioprocess conference is the gateway where scientists and engineers gather to share their vision for a transformative future of bioprocessing. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing digital solutions across biomanufacturing operations and advancing their organization's digital transformation journey.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
Data Structure and Integration
- Structured and contextualized data for analytics and modeling
- Implementing a knowledge-based framework
- Adaptability and Predictability of data
- Seamless data integration across platforms
