In a change from 2022 and to reflect the wider efforts of many companies, the Covid Response category is renamed the Accelerating Innovation award. The winner will be selected based on innovations used to help combat the impact of global healthcare emergencies or future health emergencies.

Finally, the new Heart of Pharma award will celebrate the acceleration of social, ethical and philanthropic activities. This is to recognise the individuals, companies or initiatives that have made the most significant contributions to improving patient engagement or centricity, promoted corporate social responsibility and/or improvements to healthcare accessibility and equity.
