AI in Biotech: Fashioning the Future of R&D and IP
Join us on 21 November at the Fashion Museum of Antwerp for an exclusive event hosted by GEVERS and BioLizard with the support of flanders.bio. Discover the cutting-edge intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and biotech in a dynamic session featuring expert speakers.

In today's dynamic biotech and biomedicine sectors, the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront in R&D. To leverage AI to its full potential, it’s key to understand the nuanced, strategic advancements it brings - especially when grappling with complex molecular & biological data. Together we will delve into how AI represents not only an exciting new technology, but also a collaborative platform. AI is already bridging the gap between scientists, managers, patients, and more, becoming a catalyst for accelerated innovation. With the integration of intricate multi-modal data, AI can provide deeper biological insights, identifying previously unseen patterns and uncovering actionable biological insights. We'll explore how, with the right business strategy and alignments, AI can drive data-centric decisions, redefine drug development efficiencies, and unveil groundbreaking paths in therapeutics and diagnostics.
As the application of AI in biotechnology research and development holds tremendous opportunities for innovation and its importance is expected to increase significantly in the next years, it is at the same time essential to consider how companies can protect these competitive advantages. During the event, some key considerations and strategies will be discussed to protect innovations and intellectual property associated with AI. The aim is to provide some practical tips and guidance on patenting AI-derived innovations in life sciences.
For biotech and pharma leaders keen on staying ahead of the curve, understanding the dual facets of AI – its potential and its boundaries – is paramount, on the level of R&D integration as well as IP protection. Join us to decode how to truly leverage AI, turning challenges into opportunities and shaping the future of the industry.
Complement the talk with a guided tour in the fashion museum and join the closing networking reception.
