Following the success of the launch edition of Pharmasafe India last year,  the two-day conference will take place from September 22 – 23, 2016 at Holiday Inn, Mumbai.

Higher level representation from various government and regulatory stake holders together with the pharma sector players at the two-day conference is expected to transform the discussion-points into action-points for the sector.

Apart from an eminent speaker panel, the conference has also drawn support from both pharmaceutical companies and industry associations such as OPPI, IDMA, IPA, IPEC, ASPA, Sanofi and HP. The scale and scope of the event will further be enhanced by a line-up of expert speakers taking up the most pertinent and relevant topics to draw attention to the source of counterfeit medicines and effective initiatives, regulations, and policies of the US$ 4.25 billion (INR 65675.5 crores) fake drugs market, in order to safeguard public health.

Messe Frankfurt has been the first trade fair organiser worldwide to launch an initiative against brand and product piracy: “Messe Frankfurt against Copying” which aims to ensure that exhibitors and visitors are fully informed and advised about the registration and assertion of intellectual property rights. In India, Messe Frankfurt has been actively involved in addressing the rising concerns on counterfeit products sold in the automotive aftermarket together with the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA). Extending this initiative to the Indian pharma sector, Pharmasafe India conference aims to be the collective voice of the industry to tackle sub-standard medications in a synergised manner.
