Recognising the achievements and innovations of the organisations, teams and individuals that make up the pharma sector both nationally and internationally, the Pharma Industry Awards are a key event in the industry’s calendar each year.
Since their inception nine years ago, the Awards have witnessed ground-breaking growth and innovation across every area of a sector that is vital to the Irish economy.
With the pandemic now behind us, key players within the pharma and biopharma industries deserve to be recognised and applauded now more than ever for the huge role they played in overcoming this global challenge.
It goes without saying that every advancement within the pharma sector would not be possible without the support and assistance of key support services other companies that provide services aligned with the sector’s success.
