Organized by EBCG
The 16th Edition of Pharma PPM Toolbox

Pharma PPM Toolbox 2026
Has Successfully Concluded

On May 28–29 in Prague, pharma portfolio leaders from across Europe came together to share practical strategies, real-world case studies and lessons learned in portfolio governance, prioritisation and execution.

A leading Pharma Project Portfolio Management Conference bringing together senior leaders from across Europe.

Why Portfolio Decisions Still Fail in Pharma

Most pharma portfolios don’t fail due to lack of strategy — but due to misalignment, poor visibility and execution gaps.

Decisions take too long

Portfolio reviews drag on for weeks, delaying critical investments and slowing down execution.

Politics over data

Priorities are shaped by internal influence rather than real portfolio value and impact.

Disconnected from delivery

Governance models look solid on paper but fail when faced with real project constraints.

What We Learned
at Pharma PPM Toolbox 2026

Real case studies, proven frameworks and decision-making approaches used by leading pharma companies.

Why portfolio visibility breaks down – and practical approaches used by leading pharma organisations to improve transparency.
