Tech strategy is more than choosing platforms. It's about how we manage, evaluate, and improve them for lasting scientific impact.

This October, we share that approach in a hands-on workshop on KPIs.

What can we expect in 2026 when it comes to life science technology?

We asked our @vibtechwatch.bsky.social team: https://beakon.ghost.io/we-expect-the-boundaries-between-core-facilities-to-blur-even-further/

Here’s to a year of fewer walls, better tools, and smarter pipelines! ✨
