From molecule to model: The case for sovereign compute in life sciences AI

​As AI transforms drug discovery and genomics, life sciences teams face mounting challenges: sensitive data, strict regulations, and infrastructure that’s struggling to keep up.

​In this live panel, experts from Ori, Basecamp Research, and European Bioinformatics Institute explore the growing case for sovereign compute — secure, high-throughput infrastructure designed for the unique demands of life sciences AI.

​🔍 What we’ll cover:

​• Why sovereign compute is gaining traction in bio/pharma
• How to train global models without moving sensitive data
• Tackling compliance hurdles, fragmented datasets, and compute constraints
• Infrastructure strategies for secure, high-speed AI at scale
