​Business AI for Pharma: From Efficiency Gains to AI-First Operating Models

​Pharma is moving beyond isolated AI use cases. The real shift is no longer about where AI can optimize processes, but how organizations need to fundamentally evolve to become AI-native.

​This roundtable explores how pharmaceutical companies can rethink processes, decision-making, and operating models in an AI-driven world — and how European pharma can position itself in a rapidly changing global landscape.

• ​How to move from AI tools to AI-first operating models
• Why efficiency gains alone are no longer sufficient
