The Pharmapack Awards are decided by a jury and presented at Pharmapack Europe in Paris. The field is pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery rather than startups in general, and a Rising Star category sits alongside the main prizes.
There is no prize money. A winner receives the award and a platform at the show, and nothing is taken in equity, so entry is a visibility exercise for a health company with a packaging or delivery angle.
Entries close on 9 October 2026, the shortlist follows in December 2026 and winners are announced on 11 January 2027. Pharmapack Europe 2027 runs 27-28 January at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles and draws around 6,500 attendees.
