Press · Press Release: Roncade (Venice), September 28–30, 2027
ISPE Robotics & AI and the RAYA Awards are coming to H-FARM: the 2027 edition will take place September 28–30 at the Roncade Campus
The announcement follows the 2026 event in Zurich, where H-FARM Business School contributed to the proceedings with a keynote speech on the adoption of artificial intelligence.
From September 28 to 30, 2027, the H-FARM Campus will host the Robotics & AI event and the RAYA Awards ceremony organized by ISPE, the leading international association dedicated to promoting technical and regulatory excellence in the pharmaceutical sector.
The event is organized by the ISPE chapters in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, in collaboration with ISPE Italy, and will bring together leaders in pharmaceutical manufacturing, robotics and AI specialists, regulatory experts, and partner companies. The three-day event will feature keynote speeches, workshops, and an exhibition, with the Big Hall—designed by Richard Rogers—serving as the main venue.
The choice of the Campus comes after the 2026 edition, hosted by Takeda in Zurich. On that occasion, H-FARM Business School delivered a presentation focused on the organizational and human aspects of AI adoption: why many manufacturing companies struggle to move projects beyond the pilot phase, and how decision-making changes when AI is integrated into operations. The keynote was followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from regulatory authorities and the industry.
“We now know that the technology for
automating processes is available. The bottleneck today lies within
organizations: skills, decision-making processes, and the ability to scale. Bringing
this community to H-FARM in 2027 means offering, for three days, a place
where industry, regulators, and academia work on the same problem, on a
campus designed to bring together people, corporations, and innovation.”
“It is an honor to host, for the first time in
Italy, the most renowned event in the international pharmaceutical sector
dedicated to the world of robotics and AI. Our country is a driving force behind
major manufacturing companies in the technology sector, and the value of exports
will continue to rise in the coming years thanks to the evolution of the
regulatory framework. Attending the RAYA Awards means becoming part of a
community of global experts, and it is an unmissable event for discussing
innovation and connecting with key players in the
LifeScience market.”
