The Pharmaceutical Industry Network Group (PING)
The pharmaceutical ecosystem is constantly evolving, with participants facing many challenges, market shifts and innovation opportunities.
PING is a thriving and diverse networking group that brings together those across the industry, facilitating connections, idea-sharing, and support, with the collective aim of strengthening the sector for everyone involved.
At PING, you will connect with those across the pharma ecosystem, from early-stage R&D (such as universities and research institutes) through to finished product suppliers (originators and generics) and distributors and wholesalers (any marketing authorisation holders) and ultimately some pharmacists too.
There are others who are involved in that supply chain, such as data analysts, health economists, market access specialists, qualified persons, etc. Each member contributes unique insights, making PING a dynamic space for collaboration and growth.
Chaired by Paul Gershlick, Head of Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences, the group is proudly supported by Hertfordshire Futures, which has the objective of enhancing the sector in the region as a centre of excellence and facilitating the spread of good industry practice.
At PING, businesses and individuals operating across the entire pharma ecosystem can get a holistic experience of the sector, explore topical issues together and share insights. Attendees also value the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and make important business connections.
