AL Ideathon 2025: Reshaping Life Sciences Operations Through Ideas

AL Ideathon is an idea-sharing competition that brings together professionals and innovators from the life sciences sector. It provides a structured platform for participants to present ideas that address real challenges in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, chemical manufacturing, and related industries.

Last year, the event attracted over 544 submissions, with ₹10 lakhs in prize money awarded across categories. The scale of participation and the quality of ideas made AL Ideathon 2024 a standout success, establishing it as one of the most impactful industry idea forums.

This year, AL Ideathon will be held on 27th September 2025 in Mumbai. The focus is simple: recognize ideas that improve processes, challenge outdated approaches, and drive measurable impact.
