Across pharma, biotech, chemicals, FMCG, and beyond, laboratory leaders are facing the same challenge: how to turn the vision of a smart, digital lab into reality. From harmonising data and making it AI-ready to unlocking the true value of automation, the journey from concept to execution is complex – but critical.
The SmartLab Exchange Europe 2026 is where innovation meets implementation. This exclusive, invitation-only event brings together senior laboratory, R&D, and digital transformation leaders to focus on practical strategies that make digitalisation work in practice. Over two days in Amsterdam, you’ll explore how to overcome data silos, scale automation, and drive adoption – from the bench to the boardroom.
Through curated roundtables, one-to-one meetings, and real-world case studies, you’ll gain actionable insights on:
- How to efficiently sort your lab data so that it becomes ‘FAIR’
- Practical steps to make sure data is AI-ready
- Case studies from those already implementing AI and Automation to prove the value that can be unlocked
- How to overcome resistance and drive change across teams and systems
Who Should Attend?
Senior professionals in R&D, QA/QC, IT, and digital transformation roles from pharma, biotech, chemicals, FMCG, and food & beverage organisations.
