Pharma manufacturers face many challenges in today’s world when it comes to making medicines that are efficient, affordable, and have an edge over competitors. The right equipment and services can make a huge difference, and vendors are constantly innovating to raise the bar. Every year in December, The Medicine Maker celebrates the most groundbreaking new technology to hit the market via the Innovation Awards. And it’s up to you, our readers, to choose which products deserve to be showcased. Entries for the 2017 Innovation Awards are open, but will close on 10 November, so you’ll need to act fast. To be eligible, a product must have been launched (or will be launched) between January 2017 and December 2017. The “product” can be equipment, software, technology or even a service relating to any area of drug development, manufacture and formulation. We accept entries from vendors, but also welcome submissions from users who wish to highlight an exciting technology that has revolutionized their laboratory or facility.
