Biopharmaceutical supply chains are complex, customized for each product, and globally dispersed, leaving the industry vulnerable to disruptions that may prohibit it from delivering medicines to patients. To address these challenges, the industry needs a robust, real-time, digital infrastructure for data exchange across supply networks.
NIIMBLand CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute, have partnered with support from the Gates Foundation to explore developing and implementing a Supply Chain Data Exchange framework leveraging CESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Supply Chain model.
To begin the project, we are looking for representatives from large biopharmaceutical companies, suppliers, academia, and other supply chain experts to participate in a 2.5-hour virtual workshop tentatively scheduled for April 11, 2025, from 11:00 am – 1:30 pm ET.
The goal of the workshop is to identify use cases and opportunities for collaboration.
If you would like to participate, please complete the interest form.
