Our premier 11th Annual Parallel Trade for Pharma returns to London on 6-7 Feb 2017 after 10 successful years in the running!
According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations,
parallel trade was estimated to amount to EUR 5,589 million (value at ex-factory prices) in 2014. The fragmentation of the EU pharmaceutical market has resulted in a lucrative year for
parallel trade. Factors such as foreign exchange fluctuations and legal battles on trademarks and counterfeit medicines are continuously shifting the European market dynamics.
With Brexit and the new EU Falsified Medicine Directive, what does the future hold for parallel trade? This event will discuss short term versus long term concerns of pharma manufacturers, regulators, as well as
parallel traders. They will engage in an interactive debate and discuss how to keep abreast of the current trends and how to overcome all challenges. Discussion topics include:
- Parallel Trade 101 - Which factors determine the flow of pharmaceutical products in Europe?
- The European Commission's Falsified Medicines Directive - recent updates
- Panel Debate - In the spotlight: Shortages
- The Patient's perspective
- Parallel traders panel - challenges and opportunities
- Beyond pharmaceutical products - parallel imports of medical devices
- Panel Debate - In the spotlight: Technology & new trends
- Regional and country focus - Scandinavia, Germany, the UK, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey and Eurasia
This is the only industry meeting with 80+ selected senior leaders in
parallel trade to discuss upcoming trends and share best practices. Join us today to keep abreast and stay ahead of competition!
