Join us for Lygature LIVE 2026!

Lygature LIVE is our annual stakeholder event bringing together leaders from academia, industry, patient organisations, and policy makers to exchange insights and shape the future of health innovation.

The event offers you a unique opportunity to learn from the real world challenges and outcomes of collaborative health partnerships. Through engaging stories from diverse domains and expertise areas, you’ll gain practical insights you can apply in your own work - while also connecting with a vibrant network of stakeholders committed to improving health, now and in the future.

Program

The program of this year’s Lygature LIVE will connect the past and future of pioneering partnerships. The first half of the meeting we will focus on how our organization and the life sciences ecosystem has evolved over the past 20 years. In the second half we will look at new opportunities in the field: strengthening ecosystems, enabling responsible innovation, and continuing to translate collaboration into meaningful results for patients.
