In recent years, the context surrounding the pharmaceutical industry has been growing towards digitalisation of processes. Manual operations in pharma are disappearing and have now declined to 1% in 2025. Although this is a major step forward, 69% of companies are struggling to fully implement digital solutions.
To help pharma companies move past pilot stages, the Pharmaceutical and Manufacturing Congress (PHARMAP) 2026 in Amsterdam explored the technological evolution of pharma. Gathering more than 180 companies, including Bayer, ESTEVE, GSK and Roche, the Congress facilitated major discussions among decision-makers on the industry’s main trends, including AI, serialisation, smart manufacturing and modern digital tools.
