Pharmtech & Ingredients 2026 introduces several new elements to its business programme, giving exhibitors and pharmaceutical professionals additional topics to explore during the four-day event. The organiser has highlighted first-time sessions on artificial intelligence and biotechnology, along with new educational and reputation-focused formats.
For exhibitors, these additions offer useful insights into the topics shaping pharmaceutical manufacturing, technology, and business. The event also provides opportunities for exhibitors to connect with industry professionals, while visitors can explore new developments, discover innovative solutions, and build business connections.
The event is expected to attract 530 exhibitors and 13,150 visitors, bringing together professionals from across the pharmaceutical industry.
Artificial Intelligence in Pharma
For the first time, Pharmtech & Ingredients will host a dedicated session on the development of artificial intelligence in the pharmaceutical industry. The session will examine the use of AI in areas such as drug development and quality control, as well as data security and the skills required to work with these technologies.
For exhibitors working with digital solutions, automation, analytics, or pharmaceutical technologies, this provides an opportunity to connect their products with current industry discussions and demonstrate their applications clearly.
Consider creating a dedicated digital demonstration area where visitors can see your AI-enabled solution in action. Interactive screens, short product demonstrations, and clear application-focused messaging can make complex technology easier to understand and give your team a natural starting point for further discussions.

Biotechnology Takes a Dedicated Place in the Programme
Dedicated sessions on the biotechnology sector are also being held for the first time in 2026. The programme will address topics including reducing costs, shortening development and market-entry timelines, and developing innovative molecules.
For companies exhibiting biotechnology equipment, technologies, or related solutions, the new sessions create another point of engagement with visitors interested in this area.
Present complex biotechnology solutions through clear product zones, process diagrams, technical graphics, or demonstrations. Organising information around the application or production process can help visitors understand the technology more quickly, while a dedicated meeting area can support more detailed technical conversations.
New Educational Intensive on Engineering Systems
Another new feature is a practical educational intensive supported by the Eurasian Academy of Good Practices. It focuses on auditing critical engineering systems used in pharmaceutical facilities, including ventilation, air conditioning, and systems for producing, storing, and distributing purified water in accordance with EAEU GMP requirements.
The format adds a practical dimension to the 2026 programme and gives exhibitors operating in pharmaceutical engineering, cleanroom, HVAC, water-treatment, and related areas a relevant topic around which to engage technical visitors.
Make technical information easy to access through system diagrams, specifications, certifications, and application examples. If your solutions require detailed explanation, include a dedicated consultation or meeting area where technical visitors can discuss requirements with your team away from the main visitor flow.
A New Focus on Reputation in Pharma
The 2026 programme also introduces a dedicated session on the value of reputation in the pharmaceutical industry. The organiser describes this as a new programme element for 2026, with a session aimed at PR professionals in pharma and the GxP News award forming part of the initiative.
For exhibitors, this highlights that brand presence at a pharmaceutical event extends beyond products and technical specifications. Clear communication, consistent branding, and a professional exhibition environment can also support how a company presents itself to industry stakeholders.
Use the exhibition space to communicate your company's expertise as clearly as your products. Consistent visual identity, relevant credentials, project references, company information, and a well-organised meeting space can help create a professional environment that supports trust and business conversations.

How These New Additions Benefit Exhibitors
The new 2026 programme elements bring greater attention to AI, biotechnology, pharmaceutical engineering, and corporate reputation. Exhibitors can use these themes to consider how their stands communicate technical information, demonstrate solutions, support business discussions, and present their brand.
A well-planned custom exhibition stand can incorporate product demonstrations, technical graphics, digital presentations, meeting areas, and clear product zoning based on the exhibitor's objectives. The stand should make complex pharmaceutical solutions easier for visitors to understand while providing a practical environment for discussions.
