Explore Novel Solutions and Build Industry Knowledge

Saturday - Sunday, 10-11 May

The ISPE International Emerging Leader community invite recent graduates with less than 5 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry to join us at the 2025 ISPE International Emerging Leader Hackathon. The Hackathon will be hosted from Saturday-Sunday, 10-11 May 2025 in London, England preceding the 2025 ISPE Europe Annual Conference. The main objective of the International Emerging Leader Hackathon is to explore novel solutions, build knowledge and an innovate culture aligned with trending topics in the pharmaceutical industry. It promotes networking between students, Emerging Leaders, and industry experts.

Participants will be organized into small working groups challenged with solving a pre-selected problem statement. Each team will be given the weekend under guidance of industry leader coaches and experts in various fields to create and present on their innovative solution. Based on predefined criteria the winner team will be selected to share their work during the 2025 ISPE Europe Annual Conference. Learn more and register today!
