01 / The Forum

Why this event?

A focus on technological challenges

An in-depth scientific look at evolving processes and robotics for sterile preparation in cytotoxic drug compounding units (UFA).

Digitalisation and progress

Integrating artificial intelligence into controlled production systems and exploring the strategic importance of advanced decontamination with vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP).

A hub for innovation

Building an active, collaborative network of industry leaders to share expertise and operational best practices.

02 / Fossanova

Why Fossanova?

At the heart of the pharmaceutical hub

The village of Fossanova, in the municipality of Priverno (province of Latina), lies at the geographical and logistical centre between the chemical and pharmaceutical hubs of Latina and Frosinone, connecting two of the most important concentrations of pharmaceutical industry in Italy and Europe.

Heritage that inspires

A unique and evocative parallel between the methodical and scientific rigour of historic Cistercian apothecary workshops, rooted in discipline and care in preparing remedies, and the principles of innovation, precision and control that define modern pharmaceutical biotechnology.

Outstanding networking

An architectural setting rich in history and character that encourages focus, inspires learning and promotes professional exchange, creating tangible opportunities for networking, collaboration and the development of outstanding partnerships.
