FORMUTECH

The FormuTech Summit returns in 2026 with an expanded vision, uniting a global community of innovators shaping the future of RNA-based therapeutics. As mRNA and LNP technologies rapidly evolve toward more sophisticated, scalable, and globally accessible applications, the summit serves as a key meeting point for industry leaders, scientists, engineers, and regulators to exchange insights and accelerate progress. Hosted in Lisbon, one of Europe’s most dynamic and fast-growing biotech hubs, FormuTech 2026 provides an exceptional environment for strategic collaboration, scientific dialogue, and high-value networking.

This year’s edition will spotlight the most pressing and high-interest themes identified by the community — including emerging technologies and process automation, regulatory and compliance expectations, data integrity and governance, and the growing need for analytical harmonization across RNA and LNP platforms. Attendees will explore advancements in digital and AI-enabled development, next-generation characterization tools, improved approaches for reliability and reproducibility, and innovative strategies to elevate product quality, safety, and manufacturability. The summit will also highlight collaborative models, cross-functional workflows, and the role of global governance in supporting the maturation of RNA technologies from exploratory R&D to large-scale deployment.

Across two days, FormuTech Summit 2026 will deliver a curated scientific agenda featuring expert presentations, panel discussions, case studies, and interactive sessions addressing the most urgent challenges and opportunities in mRNA and LNP development. Participants will gain practical, actionable insights to accelerate development timelines, strengthen analytical readiness, improve regulatory alignment, and adopt transformative technologies that are reshaping the future of RNA therapeutics.

FormuTech Summit 2026 continues its mission to bring together the leading minds of the RNA ecosystem. Join us in Lisbon to connect with global experts, discover breakthrough innovations, and contribute to shaping the next era of mRNA and LNP science.
