From Scientific Innovation to Regulated Development and Manufacturing

ISPE Nordic-Baltic Validation Summit
15–16 September 2026 | Vilnius University, Vilnius

How do promising life sciences innovations move successfully from the laboratory into regulated development and manufacturing?

For startups, university spinouts and research teams, developing an innovative technology is only part of the journey. Bringing a product, process or digital solution into the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry also requires an understanding of quality, validation, data integrity, risk management and GMP expectations.

The ISPE Nordic-Baltic Validation Summit brings together pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals, regulators, researchers, technology providers and emerging companies for two days of practical knowledge sharing and networking in Vilnius.

The international programme will explore topics including:

– Scaling technologies from development towards commercial manufacturing
– Building quality and validation into projects from an early stage
– Technology transfer and lifecycle approaches
– Risk-based validation
– Digitalisation and artificial intelligence in GMP environments
– Data integrity and regulated systems
– Evolving pharmaceutical regulations
– Collaboration between industry, regulators and academia

The summit is particularly relevant for:

– Life sciences and biotechnology startups
– University spinouts and research teams
– Technology providers entering the pharmaceutical industry
– Companies preparing for scale-up or technology transfer
– Innovation teams working with regulated products, processes or digital solutions

Participants will gain insight into the expectations of the regulated pharmaceutical environment and connect with experienced professionals from across the Nordic-Baltic and international life sciences community.

The conference will be held in English.

An optional visit to the BIO CITY Gene Therapy Center will take place on 16 September. Capacity is limited.
