About the Event

The ASTM International Healthcare Innovation Workshop will be held on November 12, 2024. The workshop will be held at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida, United States of America in conjunction with ASTM International November Committee Week. The language of the workshop will be English.

 

Objective and Scope

In 2023, ASTM International hosted an informal workshop focused on addressing the current challenges and needs within the biotechnology and biotechnology manufacturing sectors. The event gathered industry experts, researchers, and stakeholders to discuss existing technology gaps, barriers to innovation, and the priority areas for standards development. This workshop is a pivotal step in advancing the field and ensuring that future developments are well-supported by robust and relevant standards. View the workshop brief here. 

Following the initial stakeholder meeting, ASTM International, in partnership with AAMI, is planning a broader stakeholder workshop to further advance the discussions and ideas with the goal of:

  • Identify Gaps: Collect diverse insights to uncover more technology and innovation gaps.
  • Set Priorities: Establish a comprehensive list of priorities for standards development.
  • Enhance Collaboration: Foster collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, standards developers, and policymakers.

We invite all interested parties to participate in this upcoming workshop. Your expertise and input are crucial to shaping the future of biotechnology and biotechnology manufacturing standards.
