The forum for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and CDMO leaders moving from net-zero ambition to execution — without compromising compliance, product quality or operational resilience.
Running alongside this Forum — Aseptic Manufacturing: GMP & Sterile Facility Design Summit, same city, same dates. One trip to Düsseldorf, two summits.
About the Forum
The life sciences industry is moving decisively from net-zero ambition to execution. As regulatory pressure intensifies and energy costs rise, pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies must decarbonise their operations—without compromising compliance, product quality, or operational resilience.
The 5th Net-Zero Life Sciences Forum 2026 brings together industry leaders to address this critical shift. The event focuses on practical, real-world strategies for decarbonising manufacturing, energy systems, and supply chains—covering everything from energy sourcing and process optimisation to Scope 3 transformation and CAPEX decision-making.
Moving beyond engineering-led discussions, the forum delivers strategic, operational, and financial insights to help organisations build resilient, low-carbon pharma operations at scale.

What Delegates Say
Feedback from senior life sciences leaders who attended previous editions of the Net-Zero Forum.
Very good, interesting topics and a good overview of the net zero status and scope.
I am very satisfied with the event. It was very knowledgeable and a great opportunity for networking.
Overall successful. Good audience, not too many suppliers, right roles.
Good new insights on possible energy-saving levers; some ideas that we as Syntegon could also use for our machinery supplied to pharma customers.
Very interesting, both speakers and attending audience.
Good mixture of people, topics, open-minded, which helped to get a high level of exchange.
I was surprised by the content; a nice overview of the sustainability playing field, even though my company is not in pharma but in medical devices.
Great event with a lot of insights. Great mixture of topics.
