The round table led by ManageArt will highlight in which areas of pharmaceutical industrial sites digitalization and artificial intelligence projects are being applied. It will provide an overview of where there are opportunities to implement digital projects, quantifying the savings achieved, in order to identify which areas present challenges and opportunities to improve site competitiveness, both from an effectiveness and efficiency perspective.

Topics related to projects will be discussed from the standpoint of their organization and implementation. Among other aspects, the criteria used for evaluating decisions on project implementation will be analyzed. Likewise, the critical aspects in the development and implementation of these projects will be discussed, including the involvement of key roles to ensure success, as well as the most common barriers in this type of initiatives.

Achieved returns will be shared, and sector-specific aspects will be addressed, such as validation of systems related to artificial intelligence, experiences in regulatory audits, and expectations regarding GMP Annex 22.

Europe’s chemical industry is under severe pressure. In response, the European Commission adopted the European Chemicals Industry Action Plan in July 2025. A central follow-up initiative is the Critical Chemicals Alliance, which brings together institutions and stakeholders to identify critical molecules and production sites, address vulnerabilities, and support strategic investment.

These objectives will only be achieved if they are translated into action where the industry actually operates: in Europe’s regions. This debate will therefore examine how regional authorities can help turn the EU policy framework into industrial reality — preserving production, supporting the transformation of strategic sites, enabling decarbonisation, and reinforcing Europe’s long-term competitiveness.
