    News Tanzania's Pharmaceutical Investment Acceleration Taskforce Arrives at CPHI China in Shanghai, Inviting Global Manufacturers to Africa's Emerging Production Hub

    Shanghai, 15 June 2026 — A delegation from Tanzania's Pharmaceutical Investment Acceleration Taskforce (PIAT), the Government's whole-of-government mechanism for fast-tracking strategic pharmaceutical investment, has arrived in Shanghai for CPHI China 2026, held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from 16 to 18 June. The delegation will engage directly with international manufacturers, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) producers, and contract manufacturing organisations to present Tanzania's case as Africa's next pharmaceutical manufacturing hub.
    CPHI China is Asia's leading pharmaceutical trade event, convening suppliers and buyers across the entire supply chain — making it a natural venue for Tanzania's outreach to the manufacturers best positioned to establish production capacity on the continent.

    "Tanzania is ready to become Africa's pharmaceutical manufacturing hub. The direction is clear. The commitment is firm. The time is now,"
