Tech Transfer in Pharma
Lessons from 200+ Transfers
Technology transfer is a critical — but often underestimated — step in the contract manufacturing process.
How to create a successful Tech Transfer
Whether you’re scaling from R&D to commercial manufacturing or transferring production between sites, a successful tech transfer is key to maintaining product quality, both sterile and non-sterile, ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting patient safety, and securing consistent market supply for your fill-finish projects.
But tech transfer isn’t just a handoff. It’s a structured collaboration.
Tech transfer demands clear project ownership, especially for nasal spray and Blow-Fill-Seal products, alongside deep technical expertise in CDMO services, disciplined execution across drug development stages, proactive regulatory alignment and risk mitigation, and rigorous testing and validation processes.
Gaps in the process can lead to costly delays, compliance risks and supply interruptions.
So what makes Tech Transfer work?
Best Practice Frameworks for CDMO’s:
Curida follow the ISPE Good Practice Guide to ensure every tech transfer is structured, standardised, and well-documented.
Project Management Excellence:
All drug development projects are executed using the PMI model — enabling clear governance, cross-functional alignment, and on-time delivery.
What are the key success factors?
Key success factors for tech transfer include robust documentation, transparent communication, and phased, risk-based planning and execution. Ensuring regulatory alignment and thorough validation is essential, as is building trust and transparency between the product owner and the CDMO. Identifying potential gaps in technology or data early on also plays a critical role in ensuring a smooth transfer process.
