ISPE, INTERPHEX, and Pharmaceutical Processing magazine support the FOYA program for projects that demonstrate global leadership by showcasing cuttingedge engineering, innovative new technology, or advanced applications of existing technology. This annual competition recognizes state-of-the-art projects that utilize new, innovative technologies to improve the quality of products, to reduce the cost of producing high-quality medicines, and demonstrate advances in project delivery. This program is unique because it provides a platform for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry to showcase its accomplishments in facility design, construction, and operation, while sharing the development of new applications of technology and cutting-edge approaches. However, the FOYA Program is about much more than just the science and technology of the facilities. More importantly, it is about recognizing the shared commitment and dedication of individuals working for different companies worldwide to innovate and advance pharmaceutical manufacturing technology for the benefit of all global consumers.
