About the Summit

The Global Pharma Ingredients and Manufacturing Summit Munich 2026 by Keynotion brings together senior leaders who carry day to day responsibility for keeping medicines available and affordable. Across two focused days the summit looks with clear eyes at the realities of ingredient supply, plant performance and European expectations on resilience and sustainability.

Rather than broad theory, the programme is built around concrete stories from manufacturing sites, ingredient suppliers and contract partners who have lived through disruption and change. Sessions explore what worked, what failed and what people would do differently next time.

Munich 2026 is designed as a working meeting for decision makers who want frank discussion, practical ideas and trusted contacts. Delegates will leave with a short list of actions that can be taken forward in their own networks, as well as new relationships that make the next disruption a little easier to face.
