Awards Season at The Medicine Maker

The Medicine Maker 2025 Company of the Year Awards have officially opened, giving you the chance to vote for the top companies, including CDMOs, startups, equipment manufacturers and more, to keep an eye on in the months ahead. Voting is quick and simple. Just check the boxes to register your choices and submit! We’ll report on the winners in the new year.

In the meantime, you can check out 2024’s winners here.

The Medicine Maker Editor, Stephanie Vine, says: “We’ve selected contenders for each category based on numerous sources, but we appreciate the industry is diverse. If you’d like to nominate a different company, there is also an option to do so.”

And there’s more! The Medicine Maker awards season is not just about companies. Nominations are also currently open for our 2025 Power List, which will celebrate industry influencers who excel in drug development, innovation, science, or manufacturing excellence. You can nominate your colleagues, peers, mentors, or anyone who you believe deserves a place on the list. You’ll need to tell us their name, affiliation, and why they should be included. The final list will be published in April 2025, and split across three categories: small molecule drug development, biopharmaceuticals, and advanced medicine.

Deputy Editor Rob Coker says, “Your nominations enable us to give recognition to the inspirational individuals making the critical strides that help drive innovation and success.”

The 2024 Power List featured a number of new faces compared to 2023, and a more balanced women/men ratio than in previous years. Will these trends continue? Well, that’s entirely up to you. Nominate here.
