WHY TAKE PART
We often view AI as advanced algorithms, and product development as a complex landscape of meetings, delays, and uncertainty. When these two come together, they unlock new possibilities for how products are designed, developed, and delivered.
Join the New Product Development Conference to explore how AI is enabling ideas to move from concept to market faster, smarter, and with greater precision.
- Discover emerging trends and technologies shaping the future of product innovation, and how leading organisations are adapting
- Learn practical frameworks to streamline idea-to-launch workflows, reduce development risks, and strengthen cross-functional collaboration
- Understand how real-world data, global insights, and user feedback can be translated into effective design inputs and product decisions
- Gain clarity on regulatory navigation, scalability, and commercialisation to support successful market entry
- Explore real-world case studies highlighting approaches to prototyping, managing uncertainty, and accelerating product readiness
This is where data meets design — and ideas are transformed into market-ready products.
Curated, expert-led sessions exploring personalised healthcare, AI-driven innovation, digital evidence, and regulatory change.
A guided journey from Digital Twin foundations to advanced manufacturing, and predictive lifecycle design.
Real-world case studies revealing measurable impact across medical device development.
Targeted discussions on the EU AI Act, EU Data Act, AI literacy, and regulatory sandboxes.
Dynamic panels and roundtable exchanges offering forward-looking insights on AI-enabled Digital Twins.
