Taking place in Barcelona, Spain, and virtually 9 – 10 December, the 2025 ISPE Pharma 4.0™ Conference features three inspirational keynotes from pharmaceutical companies sharing their digital transformation journey and 32 practical case studies from life science leaders worldwide. The presentations are grouped in 8 tracks focusing on AI, data-driven decision-making and manufacturing excellence solutions, smart validation for computer system validation (CSV) and quality assurance, process analytical technology (PAT) as an enabler for digital transformation, automation and advanced robotics, and innovative facility design. The sessions are designed to showcase approaches, concrete implementation projects, success metrics, and hard lessons learned.
Regulatory Insights to Guide Actions
On the first day of the conference, Ib Alstrup, Medicines Inspector, GxP IT, Danish Medicines Agency, will explore how recent and upcoming regulations can support an effective and robust digital transformation. This must-see regulatory presentation will be a key compass to balance compliance and innovation, helping attendees to remediate, and even avoid, common blockers.
Targeted, Valuable Networking
An ISPE conference offers unique opportunities to connect in a friendly yet professional setting, where you can simply ask your peers questions to help you succeed in transformation initiatives, such as:
- How did you secure the right budget for your Pharma 4.0™ program?
- How did you succeed? Why did you fail? Where do you struggle?
- How do you handle the internal no?
- How do you find trusted partners and vendors with complementary capabilities?
In the exhibit hall, you’ll have the chance to explore emerging and mature technologies and collaborative models often born from real-world, on-the-ground challenges.
If you still think Pharma 4.0™ and digital transformation is mainly, or even just, technology and data, think again—and join us at the conference. The 2025 ISPE Pharma 4.0™ Conference in Barcelona, Spain, is where digital meets innovation, operational excellence, culture, and pharmaceutical regulations in a pragmatic way, rewarding those who ask, “How can we do this better, faster, with less risk for the sake of patients?”
Let’s debunk myths, share real experiences, and return home with ready-to-start effective transformational projects … because there is always a patient somewhere waiting for our medicines.
As Chair, I’m keen to see the 2025 ISPE Pharma 4.0™ Conference leave a lasting impact on the global life sciences community. I am sure that you will leave the conference knowing how to better strategize and operationalize your digital transformation program and with actionable ideas, with peers to turn to for advice, and with many interesting opportunities for your company and yourself professionally.
