PORTFOLIO
BASEL | 2024
Crafting the European Biotech Legacy through Project, Portfolio, and Capital Expenditure Excellence
Why did we create the PORTFOLIO conference?
Enter the Portfolio Conference — the nexus of thought leadership. Crafted meticulously for pharmaceutical and biotech professionals, it’s where strategy meets vision, where passion converges with purpose. It’s the boardroom for project and portfolio maestros, the brainstorming hub for strategic alliance innovators, and the unique meeting platform for capital expenditure and biopharma manufacturing leaders under one roof.
The pharma cosmos is in flux. We’re threading the fine line between today’s KPIs and tomorrow’s moonshots. Stakeholders are hungry for more; they crave innovation, fast delivery, and value. Leadership? It’s no longer just about managing — it’s about inspiring, disrupting, and paving new roads. And let’s not forget, with AI and machine learning stepping into the spotlight, we’re not just changing the game; we’re setting a whole new playing field.
“PORTFOLIO” is Europe’s latest, largest and most interactive meeting for industry professionals, creating a unique platform for much needed dialogue focused on strategy, alignment, execution, partnerships and excellence.
