Each year since the Pharma Awards inception in 2004, CPHI has recognized outstanding achievements from the global pharma industry across 10 specialist categories.
This year, notable winners include Moderna, who received a special recognition for its development of its Spikevax mRNA-based vaccine. Since its development, Spikevax has received emergency authorization in 70 countries, and more than 807 million doses of the vaccine were shipped globally in 2021.
Another highly competitive category, CEO of the Year, was awarded to Aragen's Manni Kantipudi, for "delivering outstanding performance with sustained growth and robust strategies."
