DDIF was formed 16 years ago and our mission remains the same - to push boundaries to affect change, for patients.

The 16th Annual Drug Discovery and Development forum brings together c-suite, executives, pioneering thinkers and leading academics who are committed to breaking free from traditional silos to evolve and make an impact. Our curated programme is for leaders interested in strategy and innovation by embracing next-generation technology such as ML, AR, Generative AI, LLM and so forth. To truly reduce drug discovery time and accelerate clinical trial development, we must advance towards digital transformation. There is no avoiding it.
