Keynote Case Study: Emergent BioSolutions — Healthcare 2025: Science + Connectivity Rewrite Care

Emergent BioSolutions brought futurist Jim Carroll to Winnipeg to help its team look past today’s headlines and into the science and technology reshaping how care is discovered, delivered and connected.

Healthcare 2025: Science + Connectivity Rewrite Care

The challenge for a biosolutions leader is straightforward to state and hard to solve: the science is accelerating faster than the organizations built around it. Genomics, connected devices and AI-driven analytics are compressing timelines that used to take years into months. Jim’s keynote walked the room through what that acceleration actually looks like on the ground — and what it demands of strategy, skills and systems.

Six trends are shaping that shift.

• Genomics. Faster genetic insight pushes medicine toward earlier, more targeted and more individualized decisions.
• Connected Devices. Medical devices become data sources, extending monitoring beyond the traditional care setting.
• Personalized Medicine. Treatment increasingly reflects the individual instead of the statistical average.
• Virtual Care. Care moves beyond buildings as digital tools connect patients, clinicians and information remotely.
• AI + Data. Advanced analytics help detect patterns, prioritize risk and accelerate clinical and operational insight.
• Rapid Discovery. The pace of new therapies, diagnostics and scientific knowledge keeps compressing planning cycles.

The science is accelerating. The strategy, skills and systems around it have to accelerate too — that was Jim’s closing challenge to the room.

It’s the kind of talk that turns a room of scientists and operators into a room thinking several years ahead of their own roadmap. Explore more keynote case studies.
