Sikkim Pharma Summit
2024

Over the past few years, Sikkim has transformed into a bustling pharma hub with expansion prospects and a favourable business environment.

The combined efforts of the state government and the businesses themselves promote innovation in the life sciences sector of the state and enhance its global positioning, as well as advance a sustainable approach to pharma development in the area. Be it drug discovery, process innovation, or research collaborations, Sikkim's ecosystem encourages meaningful collaborations and boosts competitiveness. However, there are several measures needed to optimise its growth potential.

Therefore, Express Pharma is organising the fifth edition of the Sikkim Pharma Summit on March 15, 2024, at the Mayfair Spa Resort, Gangtok.

Sikkim Pharma Summit 2024 will provide the opportunity for professionals in the pharma sector to come together and exchange ideas on the most recent trends, challenges, and opportunities in the industry. It will offer an opportunity to network and learn, meet policymakers, explore business opportunities, and stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and developments.

Strategic location and connectivity: Sikkim's geographical location serves as a gateway between India and neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bhutan. Its well-connected road networks and proximity to key cities make it an accessible location for the supply chain.
Government incentives and support: The State government has recognised the potential of the sector and has introduced a range of incentives and support mechanisms to attract pharma companies.
Clinical trials: The growing healthcare infrastructure in Sikkim presents opportunities for pharma companies to conduct clinical trials in diverse patient populations. This can accelerate the drug development process and support regulatory approvals.
Research collaborations: Sikkim's educational institutions and research centres can facilitate partnerships and collaborations between pharma companies and academia. Such collaborations can drive innovation and research advancements.

Skilled workforce: Sikkim has been investing in education and skill development, cultivating a skilled workforce that can cater to the needs of the life sciences. This pool of talent, coupled with the state's focus on continuous learning and professional growth, provides a valuable resource for companies looking to establish a presence in the region.
Infrastructure development: Sikkim's logistics and connectivity offer promising avenues for pharma companies. The state's improving road infrastructure and connectivity through nearby Siliguri create efficient supply chains for the timely distribution of medicines across the nation.
Sustainable and eco-friendly approach: The region’s commitment to eco-friendly practices resonates with the pharma industry's growing emphasis on sustainability.
