Designing the AI-Enabled Life Sciences Workforce Summit Europe

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded across life sciences, organisations are under growing pressure to rethink how work is structured, how skills are developed, and how people strategies support enterprise-wide transformation.

Taking place in Basel, Switzerland, the Designing the AI-Enabled Life Sciences Workforce Summit Europe will bring together senior HR, people, workforce transformation and organisational strategy leaders from across pharmaceutical and biotech companies to explore how AI is changing the future of work in life sciences.

Rather than focusing on AI technology alone, this summit is designed specifically for the leaders responsible for preparing their organisations, teams and operating models for AI-enabled ways of working. Across two days, attendees will examine how life sciences companies can build workforce readiness, redesign roles and skills, strengthen adoption, and translate AI ambition into measurable business impact.

The programme will address key questions facing HR and workforce leaders today, including:

  • How can life sciences organisations redesign work around AI-enabled processes?
  • What new skills, capabilities and roles will be required as AI adoption scales?
  • How can HR leaders support productivity and innovation without simply increasing headcount?
  • What operating model changes are needed to embed AI effectively across the enterprise?
  • How can workforce transformation leaders move from experimentation to execution?

With peer-led discussion, practical case studies and strategic insight from leading drug developers, the event provides a focused forum for life sciences organisations looking to build a more agile, AI-ready workforce.
