Successful technology transfer requires deep collaboration where the CDMO operates as an integrated extension of the client’s team. By embracing a deliberate approach to upfront planning, partners can establish clear scope definitions and detailed material tracking to prevent costly downstream deviations. Using real-time tracking dashboards and proactive capacity planning tools ensures that teams maintain timeline predictability without compromising on quality or patient safety.
To illustrate these principles in action, the session will feature a case study on a recent successful technology transfer program. Attendees will learn practical strategies to manage tech transfer timeline compression, minimise scope creep and build dependable manufacturing partnership.
