Shimadzu 9th Global Pharma Summit 2023
Advancing AI-Powered Pharma
On 23 November 2023, the Shimadzu 9th Global Pharma Summit 2023 commenced with an overwhelming attendance of more than 200 attendees, making it the biggest Shimadzu event yet. The Summit, centered around the theme “AI-Powered Pharma”, presents a focused exploration into the transformative dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry. The theme is especially relevant in today’s context, considering that the pharmaceutical industry not only holds the position as the second-largest industry at 1.5 trillion USD, but it is also currently undergoing a profound transformation catalyzed by the primary disruptor – Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Shimadzu’s Flagship Summit Since 2007
The genesis of Shimadzu Global Summits can be traced back to 2007 when the voices of our customers echoed a need for a unified platform to enable the pharmaceutical community to exchange insights into the industry’s latest trends. Shimadzu heeded this call, laying the foundation for what has evolved into the premiere biennial event – the Shimadzu 9th Global Pharma Summit, a testament to 16 years of steadfast commitment.
Over 16 years, we have curated a platform that has hosted over 120 distinguished speakers and welcomed over 3,500 participants from across 25 countries. More than just an event, the Shimadzu Global Pharma Summits have emerged as the central force and powerhouse for key opinion leaders and experts to share, network, and discuss the ever-evolving trends shaping the pharmaceutical landscape.
Shimadzu World Lab Network: Towards Sustainable Pharma
The vision of Shimadzu’s World Lab Network is to unite all of Shimadzu’s collaborative laboratories globally, offering a platform for our key opinion leaders to connect, collaborate, and contribute to driving global innovations.
