A Summit on the Future of R&D: Leveraging Current Capabilities and Fostering Innovation for Optimizing R&D Performance. 

Vonlanthen Group of Companies is hosting the 4th Annual R&D Process Excellence Summit in Barcelona, Spain. The event will take place on June 1-2, 2017 at Hotel Novotel Barcelona City.   

With the overwhelming success of the last three R&D Process Excellence Summits, the conversation continues to evolve with new concepts and approaches being discussed to drive R&D success despite a rapidly changing world. Those working within R&D are currently facing the challenge of declining productivity in projects and a decline in reaching R&D objectives. To combat this and reach the needs of the time, R&D professionals are now tasked with leveraging current capabilities while applying new innovative techniques. This summit aims to tell the story of the current landscape of R&D and how to apply experience, tools, and ingenuity into your processes to continue to excel in a dynamic environment.
