Pharmapack calling on industry innovators

Pharmapack Europe 2018 is calling for new applications to its Start-up Hub platform and Pharmapack Awards.

The event is taking place on 7 – 8 February and is designed for industry insights and networking. The latest industry innovations that are changing the landscape of the pharmaceutical and drug delivery sectors will be presented.

The 2018 Start-Up Hub will identify young companies as being the most exciting and innovative in the industry. Companies in the Start-Up will benefit from increased access to potential customers, partners and investors at Pharmapack 2018.

For 2018, start-ups developing patient-centric packaging or drug delivery solutions in line with connected health and anti-counterfeiting measures are encouraged to apply. Those interested can apply at www.pharmapackeurope.com/start-up-hub

Pharmpack Awards is now accepting applications for companies providing new products set to invigorate the industry. The awards identify the companies and products that sit at the centre of the industry. The awards consist of two categories; the Exhibitor Innovation category and, for non-exhibitors, the Health Product category. Exhibitors that take part in the Innovation Gallery automatically enter the Awards for this category, but will still need to complete an entry document for a chance to win. The Health Product category distinguishes innovative packaging of new health products or improved packaging of an existing health product (for human or veterinary use), that has created a tangible benefit for users and administrators.

Applications for the awards are open until 3 November, 2017 and will be assessed by some of the industry’s leading figures. For those interested, they can apply here:

Anne Schumacher, brand director, Pharmapack Europe, said: “Pharmapack Europe occupies a unique place in the industry’s conference calendar. As Europe's dedicated pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery event, Pharmapack offers a series of unique platforms that bring companies together to network and collaborate in driving business and the quality of products forward. Pharmapack Europe is dedicated to innovation, and the Pharmapack Awards had an exceptionally high standard of entries last year while the Start-up Hub has quickly established itself as an attendee favourite. We recommend submitting applications early for the 2018 Pharmapack Awards and Start-up Hub as the slots are limited and the Innovation Gallery was fully booked in 2017.”
