Dear Exhibitors and Visitors,

On behalf of the Committee for Social Policy and Healthcare of the Federation Council of Russia, and myself personally, I would like to welcome the exhibitors and visitors of Pharmtech 2010, the 12th International Specialised Exhibition of Technologies for the Pharmaceutical Industry.  

At Pharmtech, participants can analyse the state of the domestic pharmaceutical industry, including its regulation, determine the main areas of work for improving the competitiveness of domestic pharmaceutical producers, and discuss the harmonisation of Russian and international production and quality control standards.
The annual Pharmtech exhibition provides an opportunity for industry professionals to exchange views, and gain positive experiences of the technological re-equipment of businesses and creation of new scientific developments. 
 
I am confident that your knowledge and experience will help the domestic pharmaceutical industry progress to a new technological level.
I hope the event brings you useful and interesting contacts for future achievements to benefit public health, and I wish you every success in your business.   

V.A. Petrenko

Chairman of the Committee
