Life Science Event 2026

Transforming Life Sciences - From molecule to market
Connecting research, development, and manufacturing to accelerate the future of life sciences.

Accelerating Innovation in Life Sciences

The race to deliver innovative therapies is accelerating. With its strategic vision and digital transformation framework „From Molecule to Market“, Siemens connects research, development and manufacturing into one seamless digital journey. Powered by Siemens Xcelerator, Dotmatics and technologies like AI and digital twins, this approach simplifies complexity, speeds up processes and ensures consistent quality.

From molecule to market
On October 1, 2026, Siemens City became again the place to be for the life science community.
A special highlight of the event was the keynote presentation by Accenture, highlighting key trends in pharma and biotech and exploring how the industry is evolving from lab to line towards connected, data-driven operations.

The program also featured contributions from Takeda, Fresenius and VTU – below you’ll find the detailed program from this year’s event.

Under this year’s topic From molecule to market, our guests were able to learn and discuss about the challenges and solutions in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries during the plenary sessions. In the event during the networking part, they had the opportunity to experience the theoretical concepts in action at our Innovation Labs.
