Key industry players including government officials, pharmaceutical companies, international industry experts and solution providers are due to meet at MENA’s seminal logistics and supply chain forum Cold Chain MENA.
The pharmaceutical market in the region has witnessed considerable progress over the years due to the rise in population alongside strong government support for healthcare. There has been an increase in demand for pharmaceutical products and cold chain logistics.
Following the success of our global and regional cold chain conferences over the years, IQPC is pleased to announce the 5th Annual Cold Chain MENA. This summit will serve as a platform for discussions on the best distribution practices in pharmaceutical supply chain across MENA.

Last year participating companies included GlaxoSmithKline, Ministry of Health in UAE, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer Gulf, Alphamed, Novartis, Arabio, Jordan Food and Drug Authority (JFDA) and many more.
