Modernising Europe’s Existing Pharmaceutical Sites: Facility Upgrades, GMP Compliance, Digitalisation & Operational Continuity

Brownfield Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Europe Summit 2027

Join us in Brownfield Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Europe Summit

As European manufacturers respond to revised EU GMP Annex 1 requirements, growing biologics and advanced therapy pipelines

Welcome to The Brownfield Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Europe Summit 2027 — The Brownfield Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Europe Summit brings together pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers, CDMOs, site heads, engineering and capital projects leaders, quality and validation professionals, facility owners, EPC firms, equipment suppliers, automation providers and industry experts to address the challenges of upgrading, expanding and repurposing existing manufacturing sites across Europe.

As European manufacturers respond to revised EU GMP Annex 1 requirements, growing biologics and advanced therapy pipelines, supply security pressures and ambitious sustainability targets, firms must modernise ageing facilities, cleanrooms, utilities and automation systems while keeping licensed production running and patients supplied.

This summit provides a dedicated platform to explore brownfield project strategy, live-site construction, contamination control, commissioning, qualification and validation, technology transfer, digital transformation, OT cybersecurity, energy efficiency, decarbonisation and successful delivery of capital projects within operational GMP environments.

6 Key Themes for the Brownfield Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Europe Summit 2027

Prepare your existing sites for the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Join pharmaceutical manufacturing leaders and engineering experts to explore the compliance, technology and capital project strategies required to modernise existing facilities — and turn brownfield upgrades into more compliant, efficient and future-ready operations.

6 Reasons to Attend

Modernise Existing Facilities: Understand the critical engineering, compliance and investment decisions required to upgrade ageing manufacturing sites and extend their operational life.
Upgrade Without Disrupting Supply: Explore how manufacturers are delivering construction, shutdowns and utility tie-ins within live GMP facilities while protecting product supply.
Strengthen GMP & Annex 1 Compliance: Discover practical approaches to Annex 1 remediation, contamination control, CQV and inspection readiness in legacy environments.
Reduce Energy & Carbon Footprint: Examine how utility upgrades, electrification and energy-efficient HVAC can decarbonise existing pharmaceutical facilities.
Accelerate Digital Transformation: Learn how MES, automation, data integrity and OT cybersecurity can be integrated into legacy sites to support Pharma 4.0 operations.
Connect Across the Pharma Manufacturing Ecosystem: Meet manufacturers, CDMOs, engineering firms, validation specialists and technology providers facing the same brownfield modernisation challenges.
