This Special Issue of MakingPharmaIndustry Magazine accompanies the 65th AFI Symposium, one of the most important events for the Italian pharmaceutical supply chain, in an edition dedicated to the relationship between the healthcare industry and artificial intelligence.
The magazine was created to offer an editorial reading of the themes that will shape the debate at the Rimini conference: technological innovation, clinical research, quality, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, data, industrial sustainability and new skills. It is not simply a collection of content, but a curated journey designed to reflect the complexity of a sector that is changing rapidly and must now learn to integrate digital tools, scientific responsibility and industrial vision.
Through articles, in-depth features and dedicated contributions, the Special Issue aims to provide a space for orientation for managers, professionals, companies and life science stakeholders who see the AFI Symposium as an opportunity for updating, networking and discussion.
Published in English, the Special Issue also makes it possible to share its contents with international colleagues, partners and clients. It is a way to bring the themes of the 65th AFI Symposium beyond national borders and contribute to a broader conversation within the global pharma community.
In this way, MakingLife confirms its role as media partner and editorial observatory for the pharmaceutical supply chain, with the aim of reporting not only on what is happening in the pharmaceutical industry, but also on the questions that are reshaping its future.
