What will this webinar address?

As with many segments of the industry, the pandemic has disrupted the excipients market and changed ways of working forever. Now, the industry needs to adopt a ‘new normal’ with regards to auditing, supply chain and regulatory processes to avoid stagnation and ensure future growth.

This webinar will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities in the post-pandemic excipients market. Expert speakers will cover dynamics affecting auditing, regulation and supply chain issues; while highlighting key learnings from the last two years.

Key discussion points include:

  • Why we shouldn’t expect the market to return to its pre-pandemic status and how the industry should alter the approach
  • Assessing the existing auditing setup (hybrid vs on-site). What framework is required to ensure success and stability?
  • Debating current issues facing regulators in the post-pandemic set-up and exploring potential adjustments and solutions
  • Assessing potential bottle necks impacting the excipient supply chain, what can be done to ease tension?
