Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) announced that Chief Executive Officer Amir Reichman will co-lead a Manufacturers Association of Israel-organized roundtable discussion during HealthIL Week 2026. The session, titled "Biopharma Manufacturing in Israel: Capabilities, Gaps, and Scale," is scheduled for January 19, 2026, at Expo Tel Aviv.
The roundtable's importance stems from its focus on Israel's complete biopharma development and manufacturing ecosystem. Discussions will cover early-stage development, Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) activities, and clinical manufacturing, along with assessing readiness for later-stage and commercial manufacturing. This comprehensive examination addresses critical questions about Israel's capacity to translate scientific innovation into scalable, commercially viable pharmaceutical products.
The event's significance is amplified by its expected participants, including representatives from government agencies, biopharma manufacturers, Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), multinational pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and investors. This convergence of stakeholders from across the pharmaceutical value chain creates a unique forum for identifying structural gaps and developing collaboration models that will shape the sector's future trajectory.
For the global pharmaceutical industry and investors, this discussion matters because Israel has emerged as a significant hub for biomedical innovation. Understanding its manufacturing capabilities and limitations provides insight into supply chain resilience, potential investment opportunities, and the translation of research into market-ready therapies. The roundtable's findings could influence where multinational companies choose to partner or invest in manufacturing capacity.
Scinai Immunotherapeutics brings relevant expertise to this leadership role through its two business units. Scinai Bioservices operates as a boutique CDMO providing analytical method development, process development, and clinical cGMP manufacturing services for biotech clients worldwide. Scinai R&D focuses on developing innovative inflammation and immunology therapeutics based on NanoAbs, which are VHH antibody fragments with properties suitable for advanced antibody formats. This dual perspective on both service provision and internal therapeutic development positions the company to contribute meaningfully to discussions about scaling manufacturing from clinical to commercial stages.
The broader context for this event includes the specialized communications platform BioMedWire, which distributes content across the biotechnology and life sciences sectors. BioMedWire is one of numerous brands within the Dynamic Brand Portfolio at IBN that provides wire solutions, editorial syndication to over 5,000 outlets, press release enhancement, and social media distribution.

As pharmaceutical manufacturing becomes increasingly globalized and complex, discussions like this roundtable help identify regional strengths and weaknesses. For patients awaiting new therapies, efficient manufacturing scale-up can mean faster access to treatments. For the Israeli economy, strengthening biopharma manufacturing represents both an economic opportunity and a strategic priority in healthcare independence. The outcomes of this January 2026 discussion could therefore have implications reaching from laboratory benches to patient bedsides worldwide.
