From AI Innovation to Drug Discovery

At The Festival of Genomics and Biodata, we focus on how AI is transforming the pharma pipeline by accelerating target identification, advancing protein and genomic language models, integrating multimodal data, and turning AI innovation into measurable value across drug discovery.

AI is creating new opportunities to understand disease biology, identify therapeutic targets and accelerate the development of new medicines. But are we seeing real breakthroughs or just faster trial and error?

At The Festival you'll discover how leading biopharma organisations are applying AI across drug discovery, from building AI-ready datasets and developing advanced models to integrating AI into scientific workflows and scaling beyond proof of concept, all in our AI in Drug Discovery Theatre.

Learn from industry leaders and discover what it takes to turn AI-driven discoveries into tangible results.

Don't forget to visit the exhibition floor, where you can connect with a wide range of technology and solution providers supporting AI-driven drug discovery.

By attending you'll explore: 

  • What's actually working: how AI is being applied across the drug discovery pipeline, from target identification to therapeutic design.

  • Move beyond proof of concept: how biopharma companies are scaling AI, demonstrating ROI and integrating models into R&D workflows.

  • Explore the latest AI models: discover more about protein language models, genomic sequence-to-function models, foundation models and agentic AI.

  • Unlock the value of biological data: discover how multimodal and AI-ready datasets are enabling better target prioritisation and disease understanding.

  • Learn directly from industry leaders at GSK, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk and more.
