Medicines and medicines manufacturing are central to the UK’s ambition to remain a global leader in life sciences, while strengthening supply chain resilience, improving patient outcomes, embed sustainable practices and drive economic growth. Advances in manufacturing technologies, digitalisation, and process innovation are critical to enabling faster, more efficient, and more sustainable production of medicines.
The Future Medicines Café Series provides a platform to explore how innovation in medicines manufacturing can support better health outcomes, UK competitiveness, and a more resilient healthcare system through conversations with innovative companies working in this space.
Upcoming event themes and dates
Each Café will feature a brief presentation from a business or innovator followed by an open Q&A, designed to be accessible and engaging for attendees from across the sector. Themes may cover emerging scientific advances, clinical translation, regulatory innovation, patient-centric technologies, and other innovation opportunities. Upcoming dates and topics will be announced soon, offering regular opportunities to connect with others shaping the future of medicines and health innovation.
