OREANDA-NEWS   On 26 September was announced, that 15th international trade fair for pharmaceuticals and related products ‘Apteka 2008’ will take place in SC Olimpiyskiy on October 21 – 25, 2008.

SC Olimpiyskiy, (Russia, Moscow)

Apteka is the leading international trade fair for pharmaceuticals and related products in Russia. Its first edition took place in 1993 with approximately 100 exhibitors and 5,000 visitors. Since then Anteka has been Russia’s leading platform for the pharmaceutical industry. Anteka Moscow 2007 welcomed 450 exhibitors and 22,300 visitors.

Trade visitors represent all management levels of pharmaceutical companies, medical engineers and cosmetic specialists, doctors, pharmacists, hospital staff and management as well as the general public.

Equipment on the rise

A trend in the last years shows more attention on medical equipment and equipment and furniture for stores and shops. Russian pharmacies faces a change of concept from drug distributors to the more enhanced selling point for wellness and healthcare products. A change which is well known to Europe and which offers increasing potential for international suppliers. Also on the rise are nutriceuticals, cosmeceuticals and baby care products.

Increased focus on pharmaceutical ingredients and processing

The Pharmaceutical Ingredients Exhibition was first introduced in 2003 in response to the increased demand for raw materials, substances and intermediates.

Production of pharmaceutical raw materials in Russia is limited and international pharmaceutical companies increasingly decide not to only import their products to Russia, but to set up production facilities in Russia. Therefore demand and interest for this sector is rapidly growing.

The industry’s meeting place for valuable business contacts
Especially in Russia personal contacts are the most efficient way for international companies to enter the market and maintain existing business ties.

At Anteka producers and sellers as well as buyers and visiting professionals meet one another to establish new contacts, finalise contracts, and present the latest products.

A wide-reaching advertising and promotion campaign as well as the prestige Anteka Moscow has aquired on the market provide the opportunity to meet a large number of high-quality trade visitors, future partners and customers.
