Event overview:

Global Engage is pleased to announce the 4th CGT Innovations & Access Congress Asia, taking place on the 9th and 10th of April 2026 in Seoul, South Korea.

Evolving from the Cell and Gene Therapy R&D Congress Asia, the event now spans the full CGT journey from discovery and development to manufacturing and scale-up. This expanded focus reflects the region’s growing need for integrated, efficient approaches that accelerate innovation and access.

The two-track congress will bring together over 35 leading experts from across Asia and beyond to share the latest in gene and cell therapy platforms, scalable manufacturing, regulatory insights, and real-world implementation. Through case studies, panels, and networking, participants will explore solutions that translate innovation into clinical and commercial success while fostering dialogue among academia, industry, and government to advance Asia’s CGT landscape.

Be part of the conversation shaping the future of cell and gene therapy in Asia.

The agenda is currently in development. For speaking opportunities, please contact Khamini Chelveraj at khamini@global-engage.com
