CPHI Milan (8-10 October, 2024) announces the finalists for the upcoming CPHI Pharma Awards, which will be hosted on the event’s opening evening at the CPHI Celebration.
The awards are a key feature of the ‘CPHI Celebration’ and will commence with a glamorous drinks reception, celebrating excellence and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry across 14 categories.
Among the highlights are two new awards. First, the new “Woman of the Year” award, honouring women leaders who inspire colleagues, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for industry progression. Nominees are evaluated on their leadership, collaboration, and ability to create opportunities for women while challenging the status quo.
Equally anticipated is the novel “Future Leader” award, recognising rising stars under 35 with at least five years of experience in pharma, biopharma, or academic institutions. This award celebrates those who bring fresh perspectives, manage teams effectively, and introduce innovative ideas, marking them as the future leaders set to shape the pharmaceutical industry with their dedication and vision.
