On October 18, the VI International Conference "Logistics of Medicines" was held, which brought together more than 550 participants.
Creating a vision for the future both in business and for each of us and starting to work on its implementation in the present, was the main concept of this conference.
Natalia Bochkova, Founder and CEO of the WELLGO Group, made a presentation at the plenary session. She analyzed the current challenges in logistics, identified key transport solutions and highlighted the role of logistics providers in the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
"The logistics of the pharmaceutical industry is truly global. However, today we are cut off from global cargo networks, hubs and gateways as a result of the withdrawal of many international carriers from the Russian market. This sets priorities in logistics for creating new routes, hubs and ensuring strict quality control standards to support the Russian pharmaceutical industry, " -Natalia Bochkova said.
Round table discussion: Developing the export potential of the Russian pharmaceutical industry
The development of the industry is impossible without integration into the global system of production and use of medicines and IMN. Therefore, one of the most relevant events of the conference was the round table "Development of the export potential of the Russian pharmaceutical industry". Natalia Bochkova moderated the discussion, which was attended by Anna Filippova (WELLGO), Viktor Volkov (Generium) and Pavel Gusko (Geropharm).
Experts agreed that the development of export potential for a fairly large geography requires investment and state support in the creation of transport routes, as well as the active development of logistics providers to implement seamless connections between different parts of the supply chain.
At the conference, WELLGO presented an updated booth and updated its website, adding new sections on specialized services for the pharmaceutical industry. Guests of the conference were also presented with a new brochure with up-to-date services of the company.
WELLGO representatives - Marina Kodina, Yana Lebedeva, Victoria Mozgovaya and Alexandra Gerasimova - took an active part in the discussions and met with current and potential clients to discuss current industry issues.
