Since 1986, the A3P association has been a significant player in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The association contributes to the development of the production of clean and sterile drugs and products through international events where its members share their technical, scientific, and regulatory experiences.

The theme of the A3P Belgium forum on Thursday was “Digitalization or digitization: from process development to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility design.” This event is punctuated by conferences on regulatory aspects and validation concerns. The forum concluded with an interesting visit to the CDMO site of Mithra Pharmaceuticals in Flémalle. The guide was none other than the site director, Mr. Renaat Baes.

An atypical place

The exhibition took place in the castle of Val Saint Lambert, a high position in the Belgian crystal industry. This site is known for its castle, abbey, museum, and of course, its crystal factory still in activity.

According to the GxpManager team, this unusual place was a pleasant surprise. Moreover, our Belgian friends were warm and welcoming, as usual. Furthermore, the organization was also a good surprise since the animators gave them a good orientation on the day’s program and respected the timing in an academic and relaxed atmosphere.

Elisabeth’s plus:

“What I liked best were the moments of exchange with the participants. Especially during the meal on large tables. It was pleasant to exchange with professionals! “The visit of the Mithra factory was also very well organized. The factory was particularly functional and well thought out. In conclusion, the experience was enriching.”

Several persons from the company welcomed the participants and explained their missions and the implemented processes.

Many companies were present at this forum, such as Baxter, Takeda, GSK, and several biotechs. This forum allowed us to develop interesting contact with other exhibitors, with good promises of partnership.

Marc’s extra :

“We had lunch with one of our major customers who gave us a glimpse of new opportunities for collaboration on other topics. GxpManager put a smile on their face as they concluded by telling us, “You are the best news of the day!” “

The A3P Belgium forum has shown a significant evolution in the Pharma sector with digitization and industrialization 4.0. With a growing acceptance of digitization in this sector, especially for paper forms and Excel, and despite the well-known barriers to change.

The quality management system represents a challenge for companies. When it is digitalized, it becomes an undeniable performance driver.
