The 2024 CPHI Pharma Awards comprise finalists spanning 14 categories and includes awards for future leaders, women of the year, and an “at the heart of pharma” category.
On Sept. 6, 2024, CPHI Milan announced the finalists for the 2024 CPHI Pharma Awards. The ceremony will be held on the event’s opening evening at the CPHI Celebration. CPHI Milan will run October 8–10, 2024.
A key feature of the CPHI Celebration, the awards ceremony spans 14 categories and celebrates excellence and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. The 2024 awards highlight two new categories: a new "Woman of the Year" award and a new "Future Leader" award.
The Woman of the Year award honors women leaders who inspire colleagues, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for industry progression. Nominees are evaluated based on leadership ability, collaboration skills, and ability to create opportunities for women while challenging the status quo. The Future Leader award recognizes rising stars who are under 35 years of age and who have at least five years of experience in pharma, biopharma, or academic institutions. The award commends those who bring fresh perspectives to the table, manage teams effectively, and introduce innovative ideas. The winners of this award are marked as the future leaders who are anticipated to shape the pharmaceutical industry with dedication and vision.
