AI Tools for Biotech
Business Leaders
Nine expert-led sessions on AI tools for the business functions that matter most: fundraising, partnering, finance, legal, HR, and beyond.
9 Sessions | May–Oct 2026 | Virtual · 16:00–17:30 CET
Facilitated by Philipp Gutzwiller, CFS Advisors LLP
Practical AI. No Technical Background Required.
Each session offers practical insight into how AI is reshaping key aspects of a biotech business and what you can take away from it – whether that's sharpening your funding cycle, streamlining procurement, or rethinking how your team handles compliance.
Learn from advisory partners at Homburger and Hoffmann & Partner alongside AI deployment specialists from Werchota.ai, Aigentic, and Floatz.ai. Hear how leaders at Roche, Basilea, and Citi are already applying these tools across their operations.
