This event will bring together professionals from across the medicines manufacturing sector including SMMIP funded projects and other organisations focused on sustainability.  It will showcase innovation currently being developed through the programme and explore how emerging solutions could progress towards real‑world application and impact over time.

The event will:

  • Showcase the live SMMIP projects, with each project team presenting their aims, progress and early learning
  • Provide space for knowledge exchange, discussion and shared problem solving
  • Enable cross sector networking across the medicines manufacturing supply chain
  • Highlight how innovation is progressing and the potential pathways towards adoption, scale‑up or future commercialisation

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals and organisations interested in sustainable medicines manufacturing to engage, share ideas, and explore potential next steps for collaboration and impact.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities for networking including an evening networking session sponsored by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI).
