Leading events organiser, UBM Live announces that CPhI Japan
[http://www.cphi.com/japan/home ] is returning for its twelfth year
to Tokyo, from the 9th to the 11th April, 2014. The event will once
again be co-locating to provide an all-round experience, creating a
pivotal meeting-point for all sectors of the pharmaceutical industry.
The full line-up of events includes ICSE Japan, a dedicated
outsourcing event designed to connect the pharmaceutical community
with contract service providers; P-MEC Japan, delivering innovative
pharmaceutical technology, machinery and equipment to a forum of
decision makers; BioPh Japan, showcasing the biopharma sector, and a
further two events- Pharmatec, providing a pharmaceutical packaging
focus and MEDTEC Japan, specialising in medical devices.

Japan is the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world and
has been forecast to grow even further at a CAGR of 2.6% until 2016,
reaching a total value of US$127.4 billion. The pharma community in
the country continues to innovate, particularly in regards to medical
devices, with growth facilitated through a reduction in stringent
regulatory guidelines. These factors have enabled the Japanese pharma
market to open up to foreign investment, meaning that there has never
been a better time to attend CPhI Japan and its co-located events.

Last year the event hosted over 14,000 attendees and more than 500
exhibitors, with 2014 predicted to be even bigger and better.

A major highlight for this year's event is again the 150 free
seminars covering current industry trends and providing invaluable
insights into the dynamic Japanese pharmaceutical industry.
Contributors to the seminars include a wide spectrum of esteemed
representatives including the Ministry of Health, Labour & Welfare
Japan and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries &
Associations Japan (EFPIA Japan).

Furthermore, exhibitors are invited to take part in this year's
presentation series, to educate the industry about their latest
products, services, innovations and company news during a 30-minute
presentation that will be attended by visitors, press and fellow
exhibitors. Online registration to attend the event is now available
and is free.

"The Japanese pharmaceutical market is second only to the US,
representing one of the strongest areas for those looking to invest.
More recently, Japan has seen more amicable regulatory guidelines,
which has generated an attractive platform for international
investment and our event provides the ultimate setting for both
suppliers and buyers to benefit from this dynamic market," Chris
Kilbee, Group Director, CPhI & Pharma.
