Biopharmaceutical supply chains are complex, customized for each product, and globally dispersed, leaving the industry vulnerable to disruptions that may prohibit it from delivering medicines to patients. To address these challenges, the industry needs a robust, real-time digital infrastructure for real time data exchange across supply networks.
NIIMBL and CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute, have partnered with support from the Gates Foundation to explore developing and implementing a Supply Chain Data Exchange framework leveraging CESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Supply Chain model. To begin the project, we are looking for representatives from large biopharmaceutical companies, suppliers, academia, and other supply chain experts to participate in a 2.5-hour virtual workshop tentatively scheduled for April11, 2025, from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm ET.
The goal of the workshop is to identify use cases and opportunities for collaboration.
This initial virtual workshop will be followed by a second workshop later in 2025 involving subject matter experts based on the use cases identified during the initial workshop.
If you would like to participate, complete the interest form. NIIMBL will review interested individuals and send invitations by email on or around the week of March 10, 2025.
Please note: the number of workshop participants will be limited to ensure a balanced mix of stakeholder groups and perspectives.

We offer a variety of membership options that give you the flexibility to choose your organization’s level of engagement based on technology interests and priorities.
