CPhI China 2003, exhibition on pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturing and allied industries, is planned at Shanghai's Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre from December 8-10, 2003.

Executives from R&D, purchasing, engineering, production, quality control and general management are expected to participate in this event. The China Chamber of Commerce of Medicines & Health Product Importers and Exporters (CCCMHPIE) will act as a local-organizer for this event. CCMHPIE-members will prove to be highly valuable go-betweens for companies eager to do business.

The Chinese market offers immense opportunities for foreign pharmaceutical manufacturers and with China's entry into the WTO, the market will further open up introducing internationally accepted trading and regulatory standards. This makes participation in 'door-opening-events' such as CPhI China highly worthwhile.
