PHARMTECHPROM 2010

Dear Exhibitors and Visitors of PHARMTECH 2010!

PHARMTECHPROM 2010 will be dedicated to modern technologies and materials for the production of innovative drugs.  A pressing problem for domestic producers is replacing a generation of medicines.  This was highlighted during a recent meeting between the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade and Russian President, where the development of the pharmaceutical and medical industries was discussed.   
The programme adopted by the Russian government for the development of the pharmaceutical industry up to 2020 includes a major rejuvenation of the assortment of medicines produced by domestic companies.  This is only feasible if modern technologies are used at all stages of companies’ activities - from development, clinical research, registration and production to marketing and promotion.  This and other topics will be covered at the upcoming forum.
