The AI & Digitalisation Zone will be hosted in the exhibition area and will serve as the central hub for AI-driven drug discovery, digital R&D, and next-generation platform technologies, bringing together innovators such as Recursion, Iktos, Structural Genomics Consortium, and other leaders across AI discovery platforms, cloud infrastructure, automation, bioinformatics, digital biology, academic hubs, and strategic pharma tech partners. This interactive space will feature poster presentations, live demos, and short tech talks, alongside an AI Networking Lounge and a coffee cart to foster meaningful connections and collaboration

Rafal Kaminski,
Chief Scientific Officer, Angelini Pharma 

Rafal is a neuroscience-focused innovator driving the next generation of therapies for brain and nervous system disorders. He leads the company’s scientific vision, translating cutting-edge neuroscience research into transformative medicines that address unmet patient needs, blending deep biology insight with precision drug development.

This panel explores whether neuroscience is reaching an oncology-like era of investment and innovation. Leaders will discuss shifting R&D priorities, progress in biomarkers and human-relevant models, and what is needed to translate neurological research into sustained therapeutic success. 

This closed-door panel explores what it truly takes to succeed in brain health innovation, covering pharma-biotech-academia collaboration models that actually work, when to partner vs acquire vs build internally, and how to approach data-sharing in a competitive landscape. The discussion will also examine public-private partnerships in Europe — the success stories and the failures — alongside regional differences between the US and EU, and the unique challenges of scaling in Europe.
