The Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council (Pharmexcil) has invited small and medium enterprises to participate in the three-day pharma exhibition 'iPHEXIS 2014', which will begin on May 21, in Mumbai.

"Govt. is taking care of the pharma industry. "iPHEXIS 2014" is inviting more and more SMEs in this exhibition. More than 400 SMEs have already showed their interest in it.

There are more than 24,000 registered units, which meet 70 percent of the country's needs. Clearly, MSMEs operating in the domestic pharma sector are recognised as the backbone of the industry.

"iPHEX" is not only a event, it is a place where buyers and sellers meet, make them confident and give them more than 100 choices. "iPHEX" 2013 had witnessed more than 7500 meetings in three days exhibition.
