Co-located sub-events

Attendees will have access to a number of co-located events throughout the weekend, providing further opportunity to locate exhibitors and easily meet their business needs.

P-MEC provides the only European platform to focus on pharmaceutical machinery this year, as it is the only European event this year dedicated to pharmaceutical equipment and access to pharma machinery, technology and equipment. Machinery is now a prominent component in the development of new therapies as a consequence of a changing pipeline, the rise of biologics and continuous processing.

InnoPack brings together pharmaceutical packaging & drug delivery systems, uniting buyers and suppliers from the packaging and pharmaceutical industries. Exhibitors will highlight global packaging solutions in addition to the latest innovations and products in the industry.

ICSE is a platform that connects outsourcing providers, manufacturers and service experts from across the pharmaceuticals industry. It attracts exhibitors from logistics & cold chain, bio services, (pre) clinical trials, CRO, clinical data management, analytical and lab services and CDMOs.

Finished Dosage Formulation (FDF) brings together companies involved in every aspect of the finished dosage supply chain, from big pharma and CMOs to in/out licensing and dossier specialists, end-product distributors and end-user agents. From powders and pills to capsules and creams, visitors will find their finished formulations at FDF.

BioProduction Congress focuses on bioprocessing and biomanufacturing and is the first year in which the event will be co-located at CPhI Worldwide.  BioProduction is an excellent opportunity to increase company profiles, launching new products and expanding business development opportunities. The entire spectrum of biopharmaceutical development and production will be represented at the event, and 160 companies from over 30 countries across Europe, North America and Asia will be present.
