The expo aims to provide exhibition and conference and bring suppliers and buyers of focal industries and institutions face-to-face in three days. In this pursuit we facilitate manufacturers and distributors from all over the world to showcase their latest products and technology to buyers and users at a common platform in India. The exhibition provides an opportunity to the participants to connect with the global leaders, learn about the cutting-edge technology, hear about vital research and appreciate the changes the industry is going to witness in near future.
The expo will offer the exhibiting companies to not only present their innovations, products and services but to meet key decision makers and find leads and confirmed orders. The organisers predicts that the attendees will have a unique opportunity to not only have the entire spectrum of the laboratory industry in one place, at one time, providing them total solutions but an ideal platform to learn industry insights, connect with peers and grow professionally.
India Lab Expo has become the biggest platform within a short span of time and continuously growing at the rate of 25 per cent annually in terms of number of exhibitors and visitors. The purpose of shifting the exhibition venue from Delhi to Hyderabad was mooted to provide better access to life science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, research institutions and educational sector which has witnessed 19 per cent growth in 2013 and is clustered and concentrated in Andhra Pradesh and nearby states.
Andhra Pradesh is a pharma hub and produces 1/3rd of India’s total bulk drugs, rank second in producing value added food and beverages, premier technical and research institutions, large number of hospitals and diagnostic labs, etc. It has a vibrant ecosystem for chemical, life science and pharma industry consisting of large number of companies, institutions, support agencies and services along with a very strong community of professionals serving these industries. This generates regular sourcing of laboratory, analytical and biotechnology equipment and consumables by these labs and creation and dissemination of knowledge and skills specific to the Industry. The organisers felt the urge and launched Pharma Mac Pac Expo – Focused Exhibition on Pharmaceutical & Packaging Machineries concurrently with India Lab Expo 2013 at same venue.
