Maximising Returns from Life Science Innovation
Plenary Programme
Taking place again in the Guy Whittle Auditorium, the 2026 Keynote Programme at Genesis will explore the exciting potential offered by innovation in life sciences to address global unmet medical needs, investment returns and new treatment development challenges. The sessions will discuss how the barriers to progress can be defeated through creative thinking in R&D, collaboration, investment and patient access to translate the golden triangle of ‘technology-people-money’ into value creation for all stakeholders.
