Quantum computing is beginning to move from experimental promise towards early practical application — and the life sciences industry is well placed to explore where this emerging technology may deliver value.
Hosted by the Pistoia Alliance and IBM, this event will bring together leaders from quantum technology, biopharma, and life sciences R&D to examine how quantum innovation could influence discovery, development, and scientific collaboration over the coming years.
The meeting will also provide a valuable checkpoint since last year’s discussions — assessing where genuine progress has been made, where expectations may need recalibrating, and how the practical realities of quantum computing in life sciences are evolving.
Topics will include emerging applications in computational chemistry, molecular simulation, optimisation, scientific computing, and large-scale genomic analysis — alongside hybrid AI/quantum approaches and the organisational, data, and skills challenges associated with preparing for a potential quantum-enabled future.
Who Should Attend?
- Pharmaceutical and biotech R&D leaders
- Informatics, data science, and computational biology professionals
- Digital transformation and innovation teams
- Academic and translational science researchers
- Technology strategists and enterprise architects
- Quantum computing specialists and technology providers
- Life sciences executives interested in emerging technologies and future-ready R&D strategies
Whether you are already exploring quantum applications or simply seeking a clearer understanding of their potential impact, this event will provide practical perspectives and opportunities to engage with peers and experts from across the field.
