Pharma MES 2026

Capgemini is excited to participate as a sponsor at the upcoming edition of Pharma MES, the benchmark calendar event in Europe dedicated to pharma and biotech manufacturing.

Connect with 750+ industry peers at Pharma MES and its co-located events – Pharma Maintenance, Pharma Manufacturing, and LabTech Europe – all under one roof.  Learn from real-world practitioners. Lead with expert insights.

The life sciences industry is under increasing pressure to achieve sustainable competitive advantages at a rapid pace and with a lasting impact. As market forces push the industry to enhance product quality, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, life sciences organizations must embrace intelligent and sustainable manufacturing solutions. These solutions enable efficient, agile, and reliable end-to-end production, release, and delivery of therapies, while ensuring that current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) are maintained and continuously enhanced. 

At Capgemini, we help pharmaceutical manufacturers move beyond MES as a system of execution and compliance and turn it into the foundation for intelligent, outcome-driven operations.

Building on this foundation, we enable organizations to capitalize on their MES investments by connecting data across MES, LIMS, QMS, ERP, and shopfloor systems to drive real operational improvements – from faster batch release and review-by-exception to reduced deviations and improved operator productivity.

We combine deep life sciences expertise with multi-disciplinary capabilities across AI, data, IoT, and IT/OT to design and deliver connected, interoperable manufacturing ecosystems. Leveraging modern architectures such as Unified Namespace (UNS), edge integration, and scalable data platforms, we transform MES data into a trusted, enterprise-grade foundation for AI-driven decision-making.

At the heart of this transformation is the ability to move from insight to action. Using advanced AI and agentic approaches, we embed intelligence directly into manufacturing workflows – enabling systems to detect, decide, and support operations in real time, rather than relying on manual analysis and delayed intervention.

Through Capgemini’s enterprise-grade agentic AI foundation, RAISE, we industrialize these capabilities – allowing manufacturers to build, scale, and govern AI agents across use cases and sites, without creating fragmented or one-off solutions.

As a global transformation partner, we support clients end-to-end – from strategy and assessment through solution design, implementation, validation, and ongoing operations – supported by our global MES Center of Excellence and delivery presence in over 40 countries.

With Capgemini, you can unlock the next level of manufacturing excellence – moving from MES data to intelligent, scalable, and actionable operations. 

Discover our key takeaways and reflections from Pharma MES 2025.

Our 2026 presence

• At our booth
  Capgemini experts will present their latest technology innovations, focusing on how pharmaceutical manufacturers can move beyond viewing MES solely as a system of execution and compliance to using it as a foundation for intelligent, outcome-driven operations.
• Our workshop session
  Oct 1, 2026 | 16:30–17:30 CET
  
  Our session titled “From MES to Intelligence: Powering AI-Driven Pharma Operations​“ will address the following questions:
  • Why is MES the right foundation for a Data & AI strategy, and what unique value does it bring compared to a data lake or data platform?
  • What value can a Unified Namespace (UNS) bring, and how does it enable AI to operate across different systems in GxP-regulated environments?
  • How can MES help you start your agentic AI journey and support your digital manufacturing roadmap?
  • What will future pharma operations look like with MES, AI, and data fully integrated, and what would make MES a strategic enabler for AI-driven operations?

We invite you to join us, share your challenges, and engage in conversations that truly matter.
