About the event
The pharmaceutical market is considered one of the fastest growing in terms of innovation and yet very conservative in terms of marketing.
Various digital initiatives and the gradual digitalization of the pharmaceutical industry in Russia - such as the Data Matrix traceability and labelling system, the development of e-commerce, the expansion of the range of medicines that can be purchased online or new medical devices for consumer health - mean that relevant legislation needs updating.
In addition, pharmaceuticals and medical devices remain one of the least impacted sectors in terms of current restrictions on international trade, and manufacturers and suppliers continue to ship goods, although they are obliged to take account of the new reality and adapt to changing trading conditions.
Starting from the pandemic, the Russian authorities continue to respond rapidly to new challenges and to support the pharmaceutical industry.
In our event, SCHNEIDER GROUP experts will be shedding light on the following agenda:
