AIO Circle
The world is not waiting.
Neither should we.
AIO 2026:
Advanced Intelligence in Operations
Cell therapy manufacturing without systems fails.
Bioprocessing innovation without infrastructure stalls.
Data without operational intelligence is noise.
Discovery without delivery is just research.
11–12 February 2026
Royal Lancaster Hotel, London
Chaired by Dr Uwe Gottschalk
Operating Partner, Keensight Capital
Former CSO, Lonza Group
Architect of global biomanufacturing transformation
74% of FDA rejections are manufacturing failures.
Cell therapy and industrial biologics are converging.
Not in science. In constraint.
Advanced therapies and industrial biomanufacturing face the same imperative: scale without systems fails. Different modalities. Shared architecture. One operating future.
The gap between scientific breakthrough and operational delivery is where therapies stall, companies falter and patients wait.
AI. Automation. Digital twins. Industry 4.0. Advanced manufacturing. New pathways. Modular facilities. Biomanufacturing excellence. Scale-ready. Smarter partnerships. New pathways.
The gap doesn't close with technology. It closes with the people who know how to deploy it.
AIO brings together up to 200 leaders - those who've built the systems, scaled the processes, connected the infrastructure.
Not to just present. To exchange. What worked. What failed. What's next.

AIO 2026 | The Four Pillars of Applied Intelligent Operations
1
Intelligence
From observation to orchestration.
Where data, design and decision-making converge to create systems that think, learn and evolve.
Why it matters: In a world defined by disruption, intelligence is the bridge between insight and execution — turning information into foresight and performance into purpose.
2
Integration
From connection to cohesion.
Unifying science, systems and supply through an intelligent framework that links process, people and technology.
Why it matters: Integration transforms complexity into continuity - aligning operations across discovery, manufacturing and sustainability to move innovation at the speed of need.
3
Infrastructure
Where agility, assurance and automation align.
A dynamic operational backbone powered by digital twins, modular design and real-time control - built to scale and sustain.
Why it matters: Infrastructure defines resilience. It’s the foundation that turns volatility into stability and ensures progress endures through change.
4
Impact
From purpose to performance.
Where intelligent operations connect health, supply and sustainability to deliver measurable outcomes for people and the planet.
Why it matters: Impact is the ultimate measure of intelligence - ensuring innovation is not only scalable, but sustainable, creating systems that serve both progress and humanity.
The few committed to closing the gap.
