LIFE SCIENCES WEEK
Whether you’re selecting your first lab, expanding into a new facility, or planning a commercial GMP operation, the decisions you make today will shape your ability to scale tomorrow.
Hear perspectives from industry leaders at Bird Construction, CRB Group, LAPORTE, and CIMA+ as they share practical lessons for innovators at every stage of growth. Learn how to select the right space, plan for future manufacturing needs, align with global GMP standards, and avoid common pitfalls that can delay commercialization.
Drawing on projects ranging from startup laboratories to Canada’s Critical Medicines Production Centre, this session will provide practical insights for building infrastructure that grows with your innovation. Get answers to questions like:
-
What makes a successful GMP facility beyond the building itself?
-
At what stage should researchers, manufacturers, engineers, architects, and construction partners come together to maximize project success?
-
What are the most common mistakes organizations make when planning new laboratories or GMP facilities, and how can they be avoided?
-
How can facilities be designed to remain flexible, scalable, and ready for the next generation of therapeutics?
Audience Q&A will follow the panel discussion.
