Beyond Discovery: Closed-Loop Systems & Defensible AI-Bio
Event Overview
As models improve and access widens, discovery itself is becoming cheaper.
But prediction alone doesn't create enduring companies.
As AI moves beyond the lab, the advantage shifts to deployment, feedback, and the ability to learn continuously from real biology.
Beyond Discovery explores where value goes next.
On the table
When models become commodities, what becomes defensible?
What actually breaks when AI meets real biology?
Who will own the next generation of biological data?
What infrastructure is still missing to close the loop?
No recycled drug discovery narratives. Just founders, researchers, engineers, and investors working at the frontier—and willing to disagree.
