The sprawling premises of the resplendent metropolis Frankfurt is all set to host CPhI Worldwide 2003 and ICSE, one of the leading, yearly exhibition on pharmaceutical ingredients and allied industries, from 27 to 29 October at the venue Messe Frankfurt.

The Netherlands office of the UK based CMP Information Ltd, a division of United Business Media is the organizer of CPhI, ICSE, Hi and Fi series of pharmaceutical and food ingredient trade shows.

CPhI started in 1990 as an international convention on pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates. The first CPhI in 1990 attracted 250 visitors for 16 companies, while nowadays 20.000 industry professionals visit some 1.100 exhibiting companies from over 110 countries in the world.

In the CPhI show conducted last year in Paris 1142 companies from 112 countries participated. Around 10,096 people visi-ted the event, according to official sources. The 14th edition expects a record-breaking participation this time too.

Providing a platform for increased interaction CPhI organises business lectures alongside the exhibition. The lectures are conducted at pre and post show hours as short meetings (only 30 minutes per speaker - one hour per topic) considering the convenience of the participants.

Lectures will encompass marketing developments in the pharmaceutical industry, news on innovations, new technologies and new products.

Taking a cue from the last year, this time again Dr Peter Pollak, Fine Chemicals Business Consultant will launch the second edition of panel discussion. The topic of this year's panel discussion will be "Custom Manufacturing out, Generics in?"
