The 8th Pharma Forum was held in 2023 with around 250 guests from 25 countries accepting Optima's invitation to Schwaebisch Hall. The main topics of the conference in 2023 could not have been more relevant: It was about the potential of cell and gene therapy, the optimization of systems and production processes as well as the discussion of current industry trends. Experts from research and industry provided insights into solutions for reducing glove interventions or the development and use of cell and gene therapies. Discussions included flexible production solutions, the influence of regulatory requirements such as Annex 1 and virtual qualification solutions.
The Pharma Forum has been held every three years since 2001 with resounding success.
