CMAC Partners Summit 2027

Launching Strategy 2031

Shaping the future of medicines manufacturing, together.

ABOUT THE SUMMIT

A strategy built with industry, launched with industry.

The CMAC Partners Summit brings our industry members, academic teams and national partners together to launch Strategy 2031, the roadmap our partners helped shape.

Over two days, you'll hear where CMAC is heading, see the research and technology behind it, and work directly with the researchers driving the next phase of digital medicines manufacturing.

The Summit is an invitation-only event for CMAC partners, held every two years, alternating with CMAC Open Days.
