About NextGen Pharma Summit

India's pharmaceutical and healthcare sector is entering a defining decade shaped by innovation, regulatory evolution, digital transformation, and growing global demand. While India continues to strengthen its position as the ‘Pharmacy of the World’, the next phase of growth will depend on resilient supply chains, accelerated R&D, regulatory excellence, and the adoption of AI, automation, and advanced manufacturing.

As the industry navigates these opportunities and challenges, collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and healthcare stakeholders has become more critical than ever.

Against this backdrop, the Elets NextGen Pharma Summit 2027, co-hosted with the India Pharma Expo 2027 and the NextGen Pharma Awards, emerges as a strategic platform to drive dialogue, partnerships, and innovation.

Organised by Elets Technomedia with eHealth Magazine as the Knowledge Partner, the summit brings together leaders from pharma, healthcare, MedTech, and life sciences for policy discussions, industry insights, business networking, and future-focused conversations aimed at shaping a globally competitive and innovation-led ecosystem.
