Cough syrups, painkillers, antipyretics - everyone is happy when the pharmacist round the corner has them in stock. Seriously ill patients and children in particular suffer from shortages. In Europe, the aim is therefore to improve security of supply. One way of achieving this is by setting up additional production sites. A productive pharmaceutical industry can also boost the economic future of many European countries and create attractive jobs.
A lot is in motion. The industry is investing. In Germany, for example, around 20,000 euros per employee are invested annually in plant and machinery for new and existing factories. Pharmaceutical producers are demanding. Only the best technology is good enough. Innovative equipment, sensors, analytic equipment and automation technology ensure excellence in production and thus competitiveness. POWTECH has long been one of the know-how platforms where technology experts from the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries and their plant manufacturers can talk shop and gain inspiration. The list of visitors to POWTECH 2023 includes both global players and smaller, specialised pharmaceutical manufacturers.
TECHNOPHARM part for European pharmaceutical production
The trade fair is now recognising this with the double name POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. And it makes it clear that technology for the GxP-compliant production of pharmaceuticals and other life science products is also part of the exhibitors' offering. This is becoming increasingly important, especially in the centre of Europe.
