Just a short time ago, outsourcing within the pharmaceutical industry was peripheral to the main manufacturing process, confined to clinical trials and a few final steps before product delivery. Globalisation, demand for more sophisticated drugs, the emergence of new economies, and updated legislation have changed all this. The question today is not if, but how much, of your pharmaceutical manufacturing process to outsource.

ICSE is almost eight years old, and from fairly modest beginnings it is now a major event which has a sizeable presence next to CPhI Worldwide, the market-leading fine chemicals and pharmaceutical ingredients exhibition. Together with P-MEC, the Pharmaceutical Machinery and Equipment Congress, this tripartite of events has attracted increasing numbers of visitors each year and now has an audience in excess of 22,000 pharmaceutical professionals. A specific indicator of the importance of contract services within this event colossus is the news that visitor numbers to ICSE alone doubled year on year in 2006.

If outsourcing all or part of your pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and procedures is now a major feature of your procurement decisions, and you want to ensure you have access to the widest choice of potential suppliers, a visit to ICSE 2008 is a must.

The event will take place in Frankfurt, Germany, from 30th September - 2nd October, 2008.
