Our team was present at Advances Therapies Week in San Diego on February 9-12th, 2026.

Our takeaway is these six major key subjects the industry is clearly aligned on right now:

1. 1. **Standardization & automation are the number 1 priority.** Closed systems, modular processes, digital batch records. Variability that the field can control is no longer acceptable.
    2. **CDMOs are strategic partners, not vendors.** The transactional model is fading. Long-term alignment on risk and scale-up is the new expectation.
    3. **Cost og goods is a clinical constraint now.** Payers are entering the conversation earlier. COGs can’t be a commercialization afterthought anymore.
    4. **Solid tumors and next-gen cell therapy are having a moment.** The appetite for harder problems is real and competitive.
    5. **Investors want plateforms and scalable infrastructure.** Single-asset companies face a much tougher pitch environment.
    6. **More partnerships, fewer big early VC rounds.** Capital is being deployed more selectively than ever.

And the theme across all of it is: **The science is there; Now it’s about execution and economics.**
