Life sciences are at a turning point, where scientific innovation, regulatory pressure, and patient expectations collide with unprecedented advances in data, AI, and digital platforms. IT is no longer a supporting function but a critical driver of how therapies are discovered, developed, scaled, and delivered safely and at speed.

This week, Dave and Rob wrap up our State of Life Sciences mini-series with Thorsten Rall, Global Industry Lead for Life Sciences at Capgemini and together, they connect the dots across the series, exploring how AI, data and innovation are accelerating drug discovery, transforming med tech, modernising manufacturing and improving patient outcomes, all built on a strong digital foundation.
