On 21 September 2023, our team took part in the Networking@ Pharma event at Siemens City Vienna. The meeting brought together experts from the pharmaceutical industry, research institutions and start-up companies. Most of the presentations focussed on digital transformation in the pharmaceutical industry, the application of algorithms in production and the development of digital twins of pharmaceutical plants. Following the presentations, we visited the Siemens Living Lab and exchanged ideas with experts from the pharmaceutical industry, research centres and start-ups.
