This event will take place on January 19, 2026, during HealthIL Week at Expo Tel Aviv.
Event Overview
The roundtable, entitled "Biopharma Manufacturing in Israel: Capabilities, Gaps, and Scale," is organized by the Manufacturers Association of Israel. Mr. Reichman will be collaborating with senior representatives from the Manufacturers Association to facilitate an insightful discussion focused on Israel's biopharma development and manufacturing ecosystem. This session aims to provide a fact-based exploration of early-stage development, CMC activities, and clinical manufacturing.
Discussion Focus
Key topics to be covered include:
- Access to laboratory infrastructure
- CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) and analytical capabilities
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing for clinical supply
- Challenges in early-stage development
- Readiness for later-stage and commercial manufacturing
These discussions are vital for shaping strategic decisions regarding regulatory readiness and investment in the biopharma sector. The roundtable will also evaluate local and international CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) and assess current manufacturing capabilities and collaboration opportunities across the ecosystem.
Industry Implications and Future Trends
Global trends influencing biopharma manufacturing will be a central point of discussion, particularly the increase in complexity of biologic modalities and formats, evolving regulatory expectations, and the expanding reliance on specialized CDMOs. Participants will evaluate how national manufacturing capabilities need to adapt to remain competitive over the next 5 to 10 years.
Mr. Reichman stated, "The Manufacturers Association plays a central role in shaping Israel's industrial capabilities." He emphasized that the session aims to pragmatically assess whether Israel possesses the necessary infrastructure to support biopharma companies from early clinical stages onward, and what actions are essential to reinforce this foundation.
