As an ageing population and strong emerging economies are fuelling a growing demand for medicines, drug production is moving into new markets and companies are adapting current facilities to keep pace with technological advances. With this growth comes new challenges.

Companies moving into these new markets must plan and deliver manufacturing processes and, to maintain established industry standards, the harmonization of regulations, scientific standards, and production quality are needed.

The ISPE Foundation plans to make ISPE’s highly regarded Guides available to emerging markets through the Emerging Markets Knowledge Exchange; and to train and harmonize global regulators in industry best practices through the Global Training and Harmonization Fund.

ISPE is best positioned to provide the critical transfer of professional knowledge, standards, and expertise to these markets, companies, and individuals to provide support in all these areas.
