Conference Description
With major policy shifts, AI integration, and CDMO growth, Ireland stands at a crossroads; this summit defines what comes next.
Ireland is a global leader in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
But its next frontier is bigger: Building an innovation ecosystem to rival its industrial strength.
Home to 9 of the top 10 pharma companies, 50+ FDA-approved sites, and exports exceeding €116 billion annually, Ireland is a powerhouse built on world-class manufacturing, operational reliability, and global trust.
Now the question is no longer “Can Ireland deliver?”
It is:
Can Ireland innovate at the same scale it manufactures?
Biologics World Ireland 2026 is where the industry answers that together.
This 2-day, senior-level forum unites biopharma innovators, operations leaders, regulators, researchers, and technology partners to confront Ireland’s most pressing biologics and CGT challenges - not in theory, but in practice.
Across 2 focused streams:
- Biomanufacturing Excellence;
- Cell & Gene Therapy Manufacturing...
...we address the real bottlenecks holding Ireland back from becoming a truly end-to-end biologics and advanced therapies hub.
Key Themes for 2026:
Ireland’s transition from manufacturing stronghold to full-spectrum innovation requires coordinated action across:
- R&D & Early-Stage Innovation: Where does Ireland’s pipeline begin and how can it compete globally?
- Skills, Talent, & Workforce Retention: The industry is growing faster than the talent can keep up. What’s the plan?
- Digital Maturity & GMP Integration: From siloed systems to smart manufacturing; what does high-visibility GMP really look like?
- Future-Ready Supply Chains: Ensuring resilience, localisation, and reliability in an era of global uncertainty;
- Scaling CGT Manufacturing in Ireland: What infrastructure, regulation, and collaboration models are needed for CGT to take root?
- Academic–Industry Collaboration: Ireland’s universities and innovation centres are crucial; how do we strengthen the bridge?
Why Attend?
Biologics World Ireland isn’t a typical partnering event; it is Ireland’s operational and strategic command centre - place for leaders to compare real-world performance, roadblocks, and solutions.
You will gain:
- Candid, practitioner-led discussions - not marketing slides;
- Actionable frameworks to improve manufacturing reliability and innovation maturity;
- A clearer vision of Ireland’s future role in global biologics and CGT;
- A network of senior leaders shaping that future together.
This is where Ireland’s biologics and advanced therapies roadmap is written.
Who You’ll Meet:
- Biomanufacturing, MSAT, Tech Ops & Digital GMP leaders;
- CGT manufacturing and process development teams;
- CMC, QA/QC, Regulatory Affairs specialists;
- Researchers & translational innovators;
- Government bodies & funding agencies;
- Technology & solution providers accelerating Ireland’s next wave.
