Pharmapack Europe, organized by UBM, is issuing a final call for entries to the 2016 Pharmapack Awards. Now in its 15^th edition, the awards continue to showcase technologies from across the industry.

The Pharmapack Europe Awards centralize the latest innovations in packaging and drug delivery, offering a unique view into tomorrow’s developments today. For 2016 there are two categories applicable to exhibitors and visitors: Exhibitor Innovation and Health Products.

Exhibiting companies at Pharmapack Europe are encouraged to join the Innovation Gallery, a bespoke area of the show dedicated to innovations that have been launched since March 2015—all participating products are automatically entered into the Exhibitor Innovation category of the awards. Furthermore, the Innovation Gallery provides exhibitors a platform to showcase their developments and contributions to an audience of more than 3,000 high-level attendees from 67 countries.

The Health Products category is open to all visitors and Pharmapack Europe invites attendees to present their products and play an active role in shaping industry progression.

The primary judging criteria for award winners is to demonstrate technology advances in packaging intelligence, such as innovative materials, identification and traceability. Companies working across the pharma, veterinary and biopharma industries are welcomed to enter and present their innovations.

Award entries—which have a closing submission date of Friday, Nov. 27—will be judged by a leading expert panel of independent doctors and pharmacists, including Professor Philippe Arnaud, pharmacist and service chief of the Bichat-Claude Bernard AP-HP hospital and ANSM expert.

Applications for both categories should be submitted after completing the downloadable form. They must be emailed to pharmapack-info@ubm.com by Nov. 27.
