Summary

In this three-day course, you will learn essential skills and practical tools to lead digitalisation initiatives in a pharmaceutical context. The course provides a strong foundation in digital frameworks and strategies, giving you the confidence to take charge of digital transformation.

A representative from the Danish Medicines Agency will explain the regulatory aspects in “Regulatory Expectations for AI/ML in GMP” and discuss how to handle opportunities and challenges during audits.


You will explore how to leverage digital tools and identify relevant use cases with a solid business foundation.

The course guides you through the three phases of digital transformation: Strategy, Execution, and Operations. With a practical, case-based approach, you will gain skills directly applicable to GMP-regulated environments.

Expert instructors with hands-on experience from practice and academia lead the sessions. We will cover data and analytics, machine learning and AI, IoT, XR and digital twins, UX, KPIs, and other topics.

You’ll get insights into the latest research and practical methods for leading digitalisation in a GMP-regulated environment.

The course emphasises using digital tools and processes to enhance performance and well-being in the pharmaceutical industry.

By the end of the course, you will:

  • Know how to start digital transformation projects.
  • Identify opportunities to optimise processes with digital tools and data.
  • Create shared understanding across disciplines in digital transformation.
  • Understand regulatory requirements for digital technologies.

 
You can bring specific challenges and opportunities from your company to discuss and address during the course.

You will also connect with other professionals working with digitalisation in the pharmaceutical industry, expanding your network.
