TL;DR
On May 27-28, 2026, Witivio will be at Future Labs Live Basel, Europe’s leading laboratory innovation event, at the Congress Center Basel. We will showcase Copilot for Researcher and unveil new agentic AI capabilities for life-science research, built into our own agent and replicable inside the custom AI agents we design for our customers. As we have done at every major AI event this year, Witivio will be on the front line of the conversation shaping AI in research.

Nadège PoncetAI & Life Science SpecialistWitivio’s Expertise in AI for Life-Science Research
From the Microsoft Belgium Research Community Summit in Brussels, where we unveiled Copilot for Researcher on stage, to the first Copilot Developer Camp in Paris, where our experts mentored developers on the design and construction of Copilot agents and sat on the ideathon jury, when the Microsoft ecosystem talks about agentic AI, Witivio takes the stage.
Witivio is one of the most experienced European Microsoft partners building Copilot agents for scientific research, and the trust of Institut Curie, France’s leading cancer research institution, is what validates that expertise. Copilot for Researcher is already in production inside their research environment, and the same agentic AI foundations are what we now extend into the custom agents we design for other research teams. That expertise is what we bring to Basel.
New Agentic AI Capabilities for Life-Science Research on Microsoft Copilot
We come to Basel with two priorities: showcase Copilot for Researcher end to end, and unveil two new agentic AI capabilities that are already built into our own agent and that we can replicate inside the custom AI agents we design for customers on Microsoft 365.
Grant and funding application drafting aligned with open calls
Copilot drafts, refines and adapts grant and funding applications with awareness of the currently open calls and the researcher’s own scientific context. Scientists save weeks of time and refocus on what actually wins funding: the science and the narrative. Research institutions submit more ambitious applications, faster. Already live in Copilot for Researcher, and replicable inside any AI agent we design with our customers.
Live connections to trusted scientific sources
Copilot queries and combines PubMed, bioRxiv, Protein Atlas, PubChem and more from one single space inside Microsoft 365. What this changes for scientists and labs is tangible: less context switching, faster hypothesis validation, deeper scientific work, all inside the secured environment their institution already trusts. Already live in Copilot for Researcher, and replicable inside any custom AI agent we design for your research team, with the sources that matter to your discipline.
Plus: Copilot for Researcher, end to end
We will also run full demos of Copilot for Researcher beyond these two novelties: automated bibliography, clinical-trial search, patent discovery, manuscript writing and adaptation. The measured impact with our customers: +2 hours saved per researcher per day, 70% user satisfaction. Every demo on the stand will be scoped to the context of the person in front of us, not a generic walkthrough. If you want a dedicated slot, tell us you are coming.
AI Agents for Life-Science Research Teams
Whether you are a research institute, a biotech, a pharma R&D organization or a clinical research team, Witivio designs secured, governed, custom AI agents on Microsoft 365 that free scientists and researchers from the repetitive work surrounding their actual science. From grant drafting to literature synthesis, from clinical-trial search to manuscript writing, every Witivio agent is engineered to enhance human scientific expertise inside the Microsoft ecosystem your institution already trusts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Future Labs Live Basel is Europe's leading laboratory innovation event, held on May 27-28, 2026 at the Congress Center Basel (Switzerland). It gathers 3,000 lab professionals, 100 exhibitors and 200 speakers from Pharma, Biotech, Clinical R&D, Chemical, Industrial, F&B and FMCG labs, around the most pressing challenges in automation, connectivity, infrastructure, sustainability and workflow integration.
Future Labs Live Basel 2026 takes place on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 May 2026, across two full days of conference sessions, exhibition and networking.
The event is held at the Congress Center Basel, Messeplatz 21, 4058 Basel, Switzerland. The venue is reachable from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg and from Basel SBB and Basel Badischer Bahnhof train stations.
Witivio will be on Startup Village, stand S25, for the full two days of the event (May 27 and 28, 2026). Nicolas Humann (CEO) and Nadège Poncet (AI & Life Science Specialist) will be on stand, running live demos of Copilot for Researcher and unveiling two new agentic AI capabilities around grant drafting and live connections to trusted scientific data sources.
You can register for a free visitor pass directly on the official event registration page. Lab professionals get complimentary access to the exhibition and the Startup Village, including Witivio's stand S25.
Two capabilities already built into Copilot for Researcher and replicable inside the custom AI agents Witivio designs for customers on Microsoft 365: grant and funding application drafting aligned with open calls, and live connections to trusted scientific sources like PubMed, bioRxiv, Protein Atlas and PubChem. We will also run end-to-end demos of Copilot for Researcher on automated bibliography, clinical-trial search, patent discovery and manuscript writing.
Yes. You can contact our team to secure a dedicated slot on stand S25 during the two days of the event. We strongly recommend it if you want a demo scoped to your lab's data, users and constraints, rather than a generic walkthrough.
