From First Patient to Fundable Evidence: Developing the crucial CRO–DPO Partnership to ensure value for Biotech Sponsor clients

For early-stage biotech companies, every clinical trial plays a critical role in securing the next funding milestone. Ben will explore how CROs and outsourced DPOs can work together to anticipate data protection risks, establish clear responsibilities, and ensure clinical trial data generates credible, compliant evidence that stands up to scrutiny and supports future investment decisions.

The summit brings together leaders from Contract Research Organisations and functional service providers to discuss the future of clinical trials, with a focus on AI integration, cell and gene therapy studies, patient engagement, and operational innovation.

The conference features:

• Keynote sessions and expert-led discussions
• Panels on technology integration, collaboration, and trial optimisation
• Insights into AI, budget management, and diversity in clinical research
• Networking opportunities with CRO leaders, sponsors, and service providers
