CPHI Pharma Award finalists announced at Connect to Frankfurt

CPHI Frankfurt announces the finalists for the upcoming CPHI Pharma Awards, which will be hosted on the opening day (1st November, 2022) of the world’s largest pharma event at the Messe Frankfurt.


Key highlights:


Finalists span ten categories with awards for Covid innovations, new manufacturing approaches, improved sustainability and breakthrough digital technologies.

The shortlist, announced as part of Connect to Frankfurt – a complementary digital platform opening ahead of the in person event – was whittled down from more than 180 entries across 10 categories. Innovations cover the full pharmaceutical supply chain and feature many of pharma’s biggest names and breakthrough companies.

Since inception in 2004, the CPHI Pharma Awards have celebrated pharma’s brightest individuals and companies, with winners selected for making a contribution to driving the industry forward through people, products and performance.

This year’s finalists include companies that were vital to the pandemic response and improved resilience, manufacturers and innovators developing new technologies to advance drug discovery, development and manufacturing, as well as honouring tomorrow’s transformational digital solutions. Finally, the prestigious CEO of the year category will celebrate this year’s most exemplary leader.

All entries were extensively evaluated by an expert panel of 17 Jury Members, who collectively bring decades of expertise from big pharma, consultancy, regulatory, market intelligence and academia.

The winners will be unveiled at an invite-only drinks and networking reception in the Harmonie Hall at the Messe Frankfurt Congress Centre, with a 500 strong guest list of VIPs, nominees and senior stakeholders.

“We are so excited to be announcing such a strong line-up of shortlisted entries for this year’s edition of the CPHI Pharma Awards – I’d like to thank all those who took the time to submit entries for the Awards, and a special thanks to our panel of Jury members, who have so many great entries to assess.
