cplace at the PPM Summit in Basel
cplace and Dataciders present AI solutions for the pharmaceutical industry
Munich, April 8, 2026 – Under the motto “From AI Hype to Everyday Reality – How AI Really Makes Life Easier for PPM Teams,” cplace will present innovative solutions for the practical use of artificial intelligence in project and portfolio management at the PPM Summit Basel.
Together with its partner Dataciders, cplace will demonstrate from April 22 to 23 how pharmaceutical and biotech companies can successfully integrate AI into their day-to-day project work to save time and increase efficiency.
Leading consulting firms expect that by 2030 artificial intelligence will be able to take over the majority of project management tasks. However, many AI initiatives in companies still fail at the stage of pilot projects or isolated experiments that have little relevance to the daily work of project managers and PMOs. In a joint session on the second day of the PPM Summit (April 23, 2026, 11:30 a.m.), Julia Hillenkötter, Product Owner cplace AI, and Marcel Kortenbrede, Senior Consultant at Dataciders, will demonstrate where AI is already delivering measurable benefits today and how it provides concrete support to teams. Using specific customer examples from the pharmaceutical industry, they will show how AI helps pharma companies shorten their time-to-market and optimize processes. They will also share their insights into the conditions under which the use of AI in project and portfolio management works particularly well.
Attendees of the PPM Summit will have the opportunity to experience live on site how AI-powered PPM solutions like cplace work in practice.
