GraphTalk Pharma & Life Sciences - A Hybrid Event in Munich

GraphTalk Pharma & Life Sciences returns on 2nd July 2025 in Munich as a hybrid event!

Join us in Munich or online for GraphTalk Pharma & Life Sciences, where leading organizations share how they’re using Neo4j to accelerate research, enable explainable GenAI, and make biomedical data smarter.

Choose your preferred experience: attend the morning, afternoon, full day, or stream online—whatever suits your schedule and interest.

Morning Sessions | Industry Success Stories
Hear success stories from top leading pharma and life sciences organizations, including Merck Group, Bayer, Qiagen, Novo Nordisk, BASF. Learn how they are using Neo4j to power real-world graph use cases.

Afternoon Sessions | Technical Deep Dive
Perfect for those seeking practical, technical insights into GenAI, Knowledge Graphs and GraphRAG - featuring Syngenta, Care-for-Rare Foundation and Neo4j. We will explore how to integrate scientific RDF data into Neo4j, build knowledge graphs from diverse life science sources, and power GenAI applications with graph analytics.

What you'll learn:

• Integrate complex, diverse biomedical data to uncover hidden patterns between genes, proteins, diseases and drug candidates
• Accelerate R&D by identifying novel drug targets and predicting efficacy using graph algorithms and AI
• Automate scientific workflows and enable natural language queries through GenAI and Large Language Models
• Build AI-ready data foundations that support production-grade, explainable GenAI applications like GraphRAG
