WELCOME TO MEDPHARMA AFRICA 2024
MedPharma Africa 2024 is the continuation of the launch event in May 2023 at the CCI (IHK) in Frankfurt. Under the motto “Made in Germany for Africa”, the aim of the B2B event is to get to know potential business partners personally and to intensify the transfer of know-how and exchange between representatives of the healthcare industry in Europe and West Africa.
The event offers all participants the opportunity to get to know new products and services, prepare purchases or projects, find interesting suppliers and find out about the latest trends in the healthcare industry. The rapidly growing healthcare sector in West Africa offers many interesting investment and cooperation opportunities, particularly to European companies.
Participants
We are expecting more than 70 companies from Germany and the EU as well as from West African countries. The African participants include representatives from licensing and regulatory authorities, associations (e.g. purchasing center for medicines for pharmacies), decision-makers from politics, representatives of pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of technical devices in the healthcare sector and many others.We are proud to co-operate with the world's leading healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, foundations, non-governmental organizations and research and development institutions around the world.
The event will take place at the Novotel Abidjan **** Ivory Coast.
