The gap · Manufacturing
Accenture's February 2026 study traces 64% of drug launch delays to chemistry, manufacturing and controls, and finds only 35% of manufacturing leaders run a connected operation. Lilly and Roche now model their production lines as digital twins, and MSD is taking agentic AI into manufacturing with Google Cloud. The question in Berlin is who owns the plant data that closes the gap.
The batch record still carries a person's signature. The data behind it now runs through models, twins and platforms. The leaders who sign are the ones who decide which of those the plant relies on.
AI deploys when the chain has an owner. In Berlin, the owner signs at the plant.
The imperative · three premises
Digital twins now test a process before capital is committed, and automation compresses the path from batch to release. The plants that scale AI are the ones whose data is connected end to end, with one owner for it.
Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic expect the quality unit to clear what a model drafts. The organisations that build the validation, data provenance and ownership layer now set the standard others will follow.
Every AI prediction in the plant is only as good as the data beneath it. Connected PAT streams, structured batch records and one data owner turn a pilot into a platform.
The Conversation · AIO Circle Berlin 2027
The AI Strategy discussion sits on Day Two at 11:00 in BILS, CGTI and MEVO: thirty minutes, one question, with the leaders who run the plant and choose what it runs on. No conference floor. No vendor showcase.
Hotel Palace Berlin, 11 February 2027. The manufacturing conversation sits inside BILS, CGTI and MEVO, where biologics, cell and gene therapy and fermentation leaders meet.
