As the leading sponsor, international healthcare specialists Kuehne+Nagel will once again support the esteemed Pharma Industry Awards 2024, celebrating its 11th year. The esteemed event, a crucial fixture in the pharmaceutic calendar, convenes the highest calibre of Irish pharmacists for a grand dinner event in October.
A comprehensive array of 28 distinct awards were presented in the previous year. The awards ceremony champions the entire gamut of the industry, from technological advances to human resource management and diversity promotion. Sustainability initiatives, effective communication and specialist projects are also acknowledged alongside every aspect of the drug supply chain. The accolades are bestowed upon an array of businesses, from international giants to small local enterprises.
A cornerstone of the Irish economy, the pharma industry constitutes approximately a third of all production activities.
