Do you know what the biggest paradox is?
Biotech and pharma fully understand that digitization is the future. Most of them know that effective market competition is simply not possible without artificial intelligence, automation, and data analysis. And yet, many labs are still stuck in the past, working in isolation, manually analyzing data, and losing the potential that technology offers.
Where is the problem?
👉 “And the real challenge? It’s not just about technology – it’s about people. Leadership sees itself as driving change. Teams often don’t. That disconnect slows progress. Budget constraints, outdated systems, and limited expertise don’t help,“ says Klaudia Kożusznik.
👉 Budgets are limited, systems are outdated, and technological knowledge is insufficient. 57% of respondents indicate that the lack of specialized knowledge is the biggest barrier to digital transformation. Without proper resources and support, progress is simply not possible.
But not all is lost—quite the opposite.
Those who dare to embrace transformation can expect more than just technology. Instead of labor-intensive manual processes – automation. Instead of inefficient workflows – better collaboration and space for true innovation.
AI, data platforms, robotics – which technologies will dominate the labs of the future?
- AI and machine learning are the top technologies. Their adoption will grow by 44%, and data platforms will become standard in 92% of labs within the next two years.
- Lab automation is gaining momentum. Robotics not only boosts productivity but also reduces error rates and allows for greater scalability of operations.
- Still niche but promising – AR/VR and digital twins. These technologies have the potential to transform how we conduct experiments and optimize processes, but more time is needed for their full implementation.
Are you ready for this technological leap?
👉 Start by investing in key areas. The priority should be tools that increase efficiency: AI, data management, and automation.
👉 Focus on knowledge – it’s the fuel of transformation. Without proper team preparation, even the best tools will fail to deliver the expected results.
👉 Ensure a shared vision within the organization. Leaders must collaborate with teams because only then will the transformation be smooth and successful.
