Huge regional investment driving innovation with JSC "Pharmasyntez" opening three sites in 2014

Leading events organizer, UBM Live, along with partner RESTEC, announces that CPhI Russia @ IPhEB is returning for a second year to St. Petersburg, from 16^th to 17^th April 2014. The event will co-locate with ICSE, P-MEC and InnoPack, creating Russia's most comprehensive meeting point for the pharmaceutical industry.

The Russian pharmaceutical market is one of the fastest developing, currently growing at double the rate of the global pharmaceutical market (over 10% annually^[1]). Russia is benefiting from a growing economy and with the increased healthcare investments being made by the government, the market is set to enjoy a sustained and prolonged period of expansion. CPhI Russia @ IPhEB and its co-located events provide the ideal platform to break into this attractive region, with both domestic and international buyers and suppliers all looking to meet, network and drive the Russian market.  

This year's platinum partner, JSC "Pharmasyntez" exemplifies the growth in the region, through their multi-million dollar investments in domestic drug production- with three new sites opening in 2014. The company will feature as an exhibitor at the event, showcasing their new dosage form capabilities- sterile powders and solutions for injection.

Alongside JSC "Pharmasyntez", the total number of exhibitors vastly exceeds that of last year, rising from 65 exhibitors to more than 200. The exhibition moves to the Lenexpo Exhibition Complex to further facilitate the high levels of growth and mirroring the expanding domestic market.
