The 19^th China International Pharmaceutical Industry Exhibition (CHINA-PHARM 2014) will be held at Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center on October 28-31, 2014. CHINA-PHARM is jointly organized by China Center for Food and Drug International Exchange and Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. After 18 editions held in Beijing and Shanghai alternatively over the past few years, CHINA-PHARM will be the first time to be held in Shenzhen which is in south China. It will continue to serve as a platform for exchanging latest information in the sectors of pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics.

An easier access to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asian with an international outlook

Shenzhen, a new home to CHINA-PHARM 2014, is a pilot city for China’s reform and opening-up initiative. Boasting of a vibrant economy in China, Shenzhen is an international metropolis in the Pearl River Delta. The city’s unique location (neighbor of Hong Kong and easier access to Southeast Asia) will help CHINA-PHARM go global.

The exhibition area of CHINA-PHARM 2014 will be 30,000s.q.m. It’s expected that over 500 renowned domestic and foreign businesses will bring their innovative solutions and equipments onsite, attracting 25,000 person-times of trade visitors. Approximately 15% of visitors is expected to be from overseas. The recruitment of exhibitors is underway. Since the start of recruitment of regular customers, around 60% of booths have been booked.

The organizers of CHINA-PHARM 2014 launched a presentation for exhibitor recruitment at the beginning of this year. During the presentation, the organizers introduced the future trend of CHINA-PHARM and its portfolio in 2014 to the local associations and institutions. It also initiated a warming-up for the exhibition and detailed exhibition facilities, transportation and logistics in an attempt to facilitate exhibitors’ preparation.

International forums on pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food to be held concurrently to interpret policies and regulations

Concurrent events of the past exhibitions provided an opportunity of exhibitors and trade visitors to exchange their ideas on policies, targets and expertise. Besides ISPE-CCFDIE China Conference Series Events, CHINA PEPMAK, CHINA COSMAK and CHINA FOODMAK will be held concurrently during CHINA-PHARM 2014. Leaders from relevant authorities and top experts from well-known enterprises and associations will exchange views and discuss hot topics through interpretation of policies, laws and regulations, keynote speeches, case studies, seminars, exhibitions and forums.

ISPE-CCFDIE China Conference Series Events, concurrently held with CHINA-PHARM since 2012, has grown as the most famous and professional conference on pharmaceutical engineering in China. As an annual-held international conference, ISPE-CCFDIE China Conference Series Conference has been focused and appraised by industry players with an increase in its level and number of participants. During ISPE-CCFDIE China Conference Series Events 2014, the Drug Certification Center of China Food and Drug Administration will become an official organizer. The Center will implement and improve China’s newly-revised GMP, enhance communications between the government and the non-governmental sector, and improve the overall quality of GMP inspectors to enhance the capacity of China’s pharmaceutical sector and ensure the safety of medication for the public.

In 2013, we witnessed adjustments in China’s pharmaceutical sector. Since China Food and Drug Administration was set up, its supervision function on food and cosmetics (exclusive of pharmaceuticals) has been adjusted. Safety supervision on pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics is positioned with new requirements and orientations. China Center for Pharmaceutical International Exchange, one of the organizers of CHINA-PHARM, was renamed as China Center for Food and Drug International Exchange. Facing new opportunities and challenges, CHINA-PHARM invites customers and industry players to meet together in Shenzhen. CHINA-PHARM will continue to contribute to implementing GMP in China, upgrading technological installation for manufacturers, introducing advanced equipment and technology and helping Chinese pharmaceutical equipment enterprises catch up with peers overseas.
