CPHI, the world’s largest pharmaceutical event, which spans the entire supply chain from ingredients and finished dosages to machinery, bio, and packaging, returns to Fiera Milano in 2024, 8-10 October.
The exhibition, organised by Informa, will be hosted in Milan for the second time in three years in recognition of the hugely significant pharmaceutical ingredients and manufacturing industry in the region.
Italy is one of Europe’s largest producers and exporters of pharmaceutical ingredients – around 85% are exported to North America, the EU and Japan – with the Milan region at the centre of its production base. In fact, there are over 50 facilities in the Lombardy region alone.
Organisers are expecting the 2024 event to draw a record attendance, with a large number of international visitors and a rapid increase in attendees from the major Asian pharma hubs.
Roberto Foresti, deputy general manager of Fiera Milano, commented: “Fiera Milano is the ideal venue for a global event like CPHI, with the Lombardy region being a leading producer of pharmaceuticals… Milan is a city with world-class infrastructure and is well connected to European, Asian, and North American countries. It’s why Fiera Milano continues to attract massive international events.”
“We are delighted to be returning to Fiera Milano, as Italy and the Lombardy region are widely known as one of the key pharma manufacturing centres in Europe. There are very few global locations with such a depth and breadth of local and regional talent. We expect a large international attendance and will marry this with local and regional manufacturing insights. I am excited to bring CPHI – the heart of pharma – back together with the industry in Milan,” said Adam Andersen, executive vice-president, pharma at Informa.
