Written by Bart Reijs | Mar 18, 2026 4:15:44 PM

2026 exposes a fundamental disconnect in the Life Sciences industry. While biotech innovation is accelerating exponentially, the operating models designed to support it remain largely linear. At Tenthpin, our deep expertise of the Life Sciences industry has highlighted a set of ten deeply interconnected forces and trends that are reshaping the landscape.

In their latest report, Life Sciences Trends 2026: The Era of the Smarter Operating Model, authors Bart Reijs and Simon Flowers explore the ten trends in turn. Alongside the critical trends, they present the Smarter Operating Model as the systematic response that Life Sciences companies need to make in order to collectively meet the demands of all trends.
