Course description
Technology Transfer is a critical but often underestimated activity across the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Increasing product complexity, multi-site manufacturing, outsourcing strategies, capacity constraints and regulatory expectations have turned Technology Transfer into a high-risk step for product quality, supply continuity and business performance when not properly structured and executed.
This course aims to address the real challenges faced by industry teams when transferring manufacturing processes, analytical methods, equipment or technologies between sites or organizations. It explains why Technology Transfers fail in practice — not only due to technical gaps, but also as a result of unclear governance, insufficient risk anticipation, weak interfaces between Sending and Receiving Units, and underestimated human and organizational factors.
Building on extensive hands-on experience in development, industrial manufacturing and external manufacturing networks, the course provides a structured, risk-based and execution-focused Technology Transfer framework applicable to all types of transfers. Participants will leave with a clearer end-to-end vision of Technology Transfer, practical tools to structure and lead transfer activities, and the ability to anticipate and control risks before they impact timelines, compliance or product quality.
Real industrial examples are used throughout the course to ensure direct applicability to participants’ daily work.
