For the patients.We must do better.
What delivers. · What sustains.
Hotel Palace Berlin · 10–11 February 2027
the Why
Four premises.
One room.
01
The science
is approved.
Cell and gene therapy has crossed from experimental to clinical. Multiple modalities are approved. The constraint now is not the biology — it is the system that delivers the biology to the patient.
02
The system
is not ready.
Manufacturing scalability, supply chain resilience, reimbursement architecture and regulatory coherence remain unsolved at the scale the field demands. The delay costs lives.
03
The decisions
are being made now.
Platform choices, CMC commitments, vector supply partnerships and market access strategy are being set by a small number of principals. Those decisions will define patient outcomes for a decade.
04
The format
is the work.
CGTI is closed. Invite-only. No audience, no broadcast, no performative Q&A. The conversation is structured around decisions, not presentations. The room is the mechanism.
The gap is not scientific.
It is systemic.
Approved therapies sit in manufacturing pipelines that cannot scale. Vector supply constraints delay trials. Reimbursement models do not reflect the value of curative interventions. These are decision problems, not science problems. CGTI is the room where those decisions are tested — by the principals who must make them.
The conversation at CGTI is structured around the decisions the field cannot defer. Not what could be done. What will be decided.
in the room.
the Room
Where the conversation
takes form.
The principals who shape cell and gene therapy at the level of science, operations and clinical delivery.
CGTI convenes CDOs, CMOs, heads of manufacturing, clinical operations leads and regulatory strategy principals. Not from every organisation — from the ones where the decisions are actually made.
The room
Closed. Invite-only. The chair is a practitioner, not a moderator. The structure is built for alignment, not performance.
