Pharma Logistics Masterclass Recognized in Tokyo as Momentum Builds for 5th Edition in Japan

After two successful editions in Europe and the Middle East, the 2023 International Pharma Logistics Masterclass takes place in Singapore. Southeast Asia is a very important strategic player in the international market of development and production of cutting-edge pharmaceutical products, and the Changi Airport Group together with the Port of Singapore (the third largest port in the world) form the ideal base for the leading business component in the program.

Looking at the academic component, together with the leading University of Antwerp, there are several international universities with which the organization will collaborate, universities with world-renowned international research programs in the supply chain, logistics and pharmaceutical development. 

Last, but not least, Singapore is also home to one of the founding members of Pharma.Aero: Changi Airport Group has been at the helm of the organization from the start and has had a decisive contribution to the rapid and innovative growth of Pharma.Aero.

Frank Van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero and Co-Chair of the Pharma Logistics Masterclass: “Being in Singapore next September, underlines the global collaborative vision and drive Pharma.Aero embraces, and which is needed to make the International Pharma Logistics Masterclass a source for every company working in the field of pharma logistics. The strong collaboration and exchange of insights with the academic world on the subject, will definitely further mature in working with top companies and academic researchers from Singapore. Grafted on the essential takeaways of the past two versions of the masterclass in Antwerp and Abu Dhabi, this masterclass will further delve into the most important developments in both scientific and industrial areas. In other words, for those who are seriously involved in pharma logistics, you better be there and exchange ideas, insights and experiences with the faculty and learners from all over the world.”  

Registrations are now open for Pharma.Aero members only. Opening of the public registrations will follow shortly and will be announced on all our communication channels.
