We begin this year’s Pharma Contract Manufacturing Summit with two very simple questions:

(1) What are the fundamental challenges we need to see addressed at this year’s event?

(2) Who do have in the room to help solve those problems?

Using speed networking, you will gain a clear sense of the industry makeup we have in the room and the issues we want to address together, leaving no stone unturned to get the answers you need

MAKING THE RELATIONSHIP WORK

1. SANDOZ: Who & Why we are after spin off from Novartis OCT 2023; Core EBITDA improvement targets
2. Eso Network COmplexity Reduction – Challenges in generic Pharma Supplier Management with >350 FDF supplier and ways to drive complexity reduction
