Additionally, participants will undergo temperature checks before entry and will be asked to present ID cards and 3G entry documents, such as negative test results. Negative test results must also be presented 48 hours before departure for China due to the travel restrictions. Attendants should also note that they will be required to undergo quarantine at a centralised site for five days and at home for three.

Introduction

Established in 2001, CPhI China has quickly gone from another satellite event in the CPhI lineup of trade shows to one of the most influential pharmaceutical events on the continent of Asia. It’s certainly the biggest and a natural meeting point for buyers and exhibitors from Asian markets and foreign nationals. CPhI China acts as a natural bridge between the East and West and is a source for innovation and mutual cooperation. Trade visitors have access to all related, essential product categories. These would be APIs, biopharmaceuticals, EP & clean tech, pharma excipients, pharma machinery, pharma logistics, finished dosage, laboratory equipment, CMO & CRO, animal health and feed, automation, natural extracts and packaging materials. Exhibitors attend in order to reveal new products and seek buyers. There’s also a support programme, which features world-class experts, speakers, and scientists in a variety of forums and seminars. 

Logistics

CPhI China is an annual trade show, which typically takes place in June, but in the past couple of years due to the coronavirus pandemic has been organised in December. Editions are put together by UBM EMEA and the China Chamber of Commerce of Medicines & Health Products Importers & Exporters. Programming lasts for three days at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The first day starts at 09:30 in the morning, while the last two days begin earlier at 09:00.
