FRANKFURT, Germany — October 13th, 2026 — Uncountable, the AI platform for end-to-end product development, brought 120 R&D, quality control and product lifecycle leaders to Frankfurt on October 1–2 for Uncountable Summit Europe 2026. Attendees came from specialty chemicals, polymers, food and beverage, cosmetics, pharma, adhesives and tapes, construction materials and other formulated-product industries, many of them leading digital transformation programmes at global organisations.
Much of the summit’s value came from that mix. Between sessions, attendees compared notes with peers in other industries on rolling out connected R&D, quality and PLM systems across sites and regions: what worked, what didn’t, and what they would do differently next time.
Kraton, Clariant and Lohmann gave client presentations on how their teams use Uncountable to manage and speed up product development. Co-Founder and CEO Noel Hollingsworth opened the summit with a keynote on building an end-to-end platform for product development that connects R&D, QC and PLM data in one system.
On day two, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer Will Tashman presented “AI in Innovation.” He showed how Uncountable’s machine learning optimization recommends the highest-value next experiment, and how organizations can choose how they deploy large language models: through Uncountable’s managed enterprise APIs, their own model (BYOM), or the Model Context Protocol (MCP). He also demonstrated Bodie, Uncountable’s AI agent, which answers questions from a team’s own experimental data and SOPs, drafts reports, and automates repeatable workflows with Skills.
Attendees chose from eight product breakout sessions across two tracks: R&D LIMS, QC LIMS, machine learning DOE, Quality Management System (QMS), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Project Portfolio Management, Dashboards & Insights, and Change Management. Two hands-on Bodie AI workshops completed the programme: in Bodie in Practice, super users built a Bodie Skill live, and Bodie in Strategy helped leaders plan how AI agents fit into their R&D organizations.
“Some of the most valuable conversations in Frankfurt were between our customers,” said Noel Hollingsworth, Co-Founder and CEO of Uncountable. “Leaders running digital transformation in chemicals, food, cosmetics and pharma compared what worked, what didn’t and what they’d do differently. That kind of candid exchange across industries is hard to find at other events. It also shapes Uncountable’s mission: one connected system, from the first experiment through quality release, that teams can configure to the way they actually work.”
“European R&D teams are moving quickly on AI, but they want it on their terms: secure, permission-aware and grounded in their own data,” said Will Tashman, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer of Uncountable. “The questions we heard at the summit, and the experience attendees shared with each other, will feed directly into our roadmap for Bodie.”
