Really looking forward to speaking at this upcoming Life Sciences & MedTech Breakfast Club in Galway with Schneider Electric and the MET Technology Gateway team at Atlantic Technological University. For many organisations in Life Sciences and MedTech, the question is no longer whether to digitally transform — it is what to do next. That next step is often where the real challenge lies. - How do you modernise while still dealing with legacy systems? - How do you improve performance while managing regulatory pressure? - How do you embrace AI and new digital capabilities while also delivering on sustainability and investment priorities? These are the real conversations industry leaders are having right now, and that is what makes this event so relevant. This is not about high-level buzzwords or abstract transformation talk. It is a practical, industry-focused session for people working at the sharp end of engineering, manufacturing, operations, and plant leadership. I’m delighted to be joining a strong line-up including Julio Zanon Diaz, Boston Scientific, along with representatives from Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, MET Technology Gateway, and ISPE. From my side, I’ll be sharing an Expleo Group perspective on how Life Sciences and MedTech organisations can take a more structured, execution-focused approach to digital transformation — helping ensure programmes deliver real operational value while staying aligned to compliance, governance, quality, and long-term business goals. It should be a great morning for insight, discussion, and networking with leaders from across the sector. 📍 ATU Galway iHub 📅 26 March 2026 ⏰ 07:00 – 09:30 If you are involved in shaping the next phase of digital transformation in manufacturing, engineering, or operations, this is a session well worth attending. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces there. #MedTech #LifeSciences #DigitalTransformation #ManufacturingExcellence #SchneiderElectric #Expleo #Industry50 #GalwayInnovation #METGateway

The wait came to an end this morning: the RWTH Tech Impact Festival has successfully launched with around 1,500 registered participants. 2 days, 10 streams, 170 confirmed speakers – all gathered in Aachen to answer one central question: How does research reach the places where it truly makes a difference?   The program is built around curated thematic streams that define the festival’s key focus areas. Over two days, they provide the framework for keynotes, panels, and interactive formats.   Topics range from AI-Native Telco, Next Generation Computing & AI, and Digital Industry to Deep Tech Innovation & Transfer, BioTech & Life Sciences, Future Mobility, and Battery Power & Renewable Energies. Additional focus areas include Raw Materials, Urban Infrastructure, and Sustainability & Circular Economy.   In the opening session, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Riesener and Prof. Dr. Matthias Wessling welcomed participants and greeted the co-hosts from industry, business, and associations: Dr. Felix Zoellner | Petr Ledl | Tim Hiddemann | Sabine Kunst | Stefan Miltenyi | Claas Heise | Florian Schütze | Mathias Oppelt | Adrian Willig   Several of the eight parallel streams were led by the #ProfileAreas. Many of the experts are active in one or more of these areas – a strong sign of interdisciplinary collaboration. Our sincere thanks go to everyone involved: Martin Claßen | Elisabeth Clausen | Lutz Eckstein | Egbert Figgemeier | Prof. Dr. Agnes Förster | Thomas Gries | Sonja Herres-Pawlis | Holger Hoos | Andreas Jupke | Julia Kowalski | Max Lemme | Peter Letmathe | Antonello Monti | Dirk Müller | Regina Palkovits | Frank Piller | Prof. Stefan Pischinger | Francesca Santoro | Holger Schüttrumpf | Andreas Schuppert | Ulrich Schwaneberg | Stefan Sterlepper | Axel Timpe | Sebastian Trimpe | Heike Vallery | Wil van der Aalst | Klaus Wehrle Find the full program here: https://lnkd.in/er4WjGNN

What stands out is how fields like #quantum #technologies and #social #cohesion are brought into the same conversation—an unusual but much‑needed intersection! Conferences like this remind us that breakthrough ideas emerge when disciplines stop working in isolation. #Berlin is about to become a living lab for future‑shaping collaborations.

The future of clinical research won’t be built on legacy thinking. At Medable, our vision is clear: a world where clinical trials move at the speed of science and patients don’t wait. That means rethinking everything. Not incrementally. Fundamentally. From eliminating “white space” to building our 1:1:1, we’re building a future where research is more connected, more intelligent, and more human.

Bridging the gap between lab and market. 🧬✨ We partnered with Revnuu to visualize their mission of transforming complex scientific breakthroughs into clear, impactful narratives. By blending cinematic storytelling with the world of deep tech and life sciences, we’ve created an image film that defines their goal of helping founders move from proof of concept to commercial reality. We look forward to partnering with Revnuu on future projects to take strategic storytelling to the next level and give ground-breaking innovation the clarity it deserves. #AVIATICFILMS #REVNUU #DeepTech #LifeSciences #CinematicStorytelling #InnovationToImpact

analytica 2026 — beyond the stand. Yes, it’s been an incredible experience. Yes, amazing team Supertek Europe- Powered by Shivsons Shiv Dial Sud and Sons Yes, great to meet so many of you. But let’s go one step further. 👉 What really happened these days? Because if we’re honest… Most conversations were not about products. They were about trust, reliability, and long-term commitment. And here’s the uncomfortable question: Are trade fairs still about discovering new solutions… or just validating decisions already made? We met: • People curious, open, exploring • But also many already decided, just looking for reassurance At the same time: • We felt the absence of some key regions • We saw how much presence = positioning in this industry So maybe the real value of fairs today is not exposure… 👉 It’s confirmation, credibility, and strategic alignment ⸻ On a #personal #note: This experience was great thanks to the team. Energy, resilience, and shared ambition made the difference. And to everyone who: • stopped by • asked questions • challenged us • or simply got curious Thank you. You’re the real value of this ecosystem. ⸻ Now I leave this open: 💬 Are fairs still where decisions are made… or just where they are confirmed? ⸻ #Analytica2026 #IndustryInsights #InternationalBusiness #Trust #Partnerships #B2B #TradeFairs #MarketReality #Leadership International Consulting Solutions
