# Event Details - **Event Name**: #AgileLeaders on Biologics and the future of Antibodies - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Agile Leaders Forum on the future of Antibodies and Biologics in medicines and a look at working with development partners in ChinaAbout this EventIn this #AgileLeaders Forum we will be discussing the Biologics for Medicines sector with a special focus on the future of Antibodies drug discovery and development. Chatham House Rules apply.The biologics sector, encompassing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), vaccines, and gene therapies, is a cornerstone of modern medicine, projected to expand from around $444-522 billion in 2024-2026 to $827-1,127 billion by 2034. .Driven by chronic diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders, oncology holds a dominant 28-30% share, with mAbs commanding 57% of the market due to their precision in targeting diseases.Future of Antibodies in Drug DiscoveryAntibodies are evolving rapidly, with next-generation formats like bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), multi-specific antibodies (MsAbs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and engineered constructs leading innovation. BsAbs, enabling dual targeting for enhanced efficacy in immuno-oncology and autoimmune diseases, are forecasted to surge in development, bolstered by technologies like knob-into-hole and CrossMab for stability and tumor penetration. ADCs, combining antibodies with cytotoxic payloads, are expanding beyond oncology to autoimmune and infectious diseases, estimated to grow significantly (double in 5 years). The next-generation antibody market, valued at $50 billion in 2025, could reach $150 billion by 2033 via improved specificity, reduced immunogenicity, and personalized medicine.Regional leaders like North Americ fuel this through R&D investments and regulatory support, with Asia-Pacific emerging fast. Challenges include manufacturing scalability, with in-house and outsourced models, plus biosimilars, promise accessibility. By 2034, antibodies will redefine drug development with AI-driven discovery and multi-specific platforms.At our Agile Leaders Forum we will have experts to discuss the future of antibodies specifically, along with our participating audience, to get to know where the UK stands in the global market. Many antibodies used in medicines were first discovetred and developed in the UK, so it will be interesting to discuss where the UK stands now in the global market, and how we can work with Chinese development partners to derisk and reduce costs, and remaining competative. How you will benefit from attending Agile Leaders?As a Business or Research Leader, you will benefit from this "Agile" workshop by sharing common challenges and building deeper connections and trust with your peers. In turn, the aim is to build your confidence when working in areas normally outside your comfort zone, by learning and having discussions with this / your "Agile" peer network. You can speak to people in a similar position about issues you may not have the opportunity to discuss elsewhere. You can discuss your challenges with a view of learning from other people's experiences to help you find a solution or spark an idea. Why let leaders of emerging companies re-invent the wheel to be successful when we can learn from the experiences of others who have faced similar challenges before.Chatham House Rules apply - "what goes on in the workshop, stays in the workshop - so to speak!" We are planning to write up some of the interesting features of the discussion but won't attribute anyone's comment or view so they can be identified.
