As part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative of the Year award, Act4Biosimilars was awarded a Highly Commended recognition for its work in increasing the global adoption of biosimilars. The Sandoz-backed initiative is the first to empower a global movement toward biosimilar uptake and long-term healthcare system sustainability.

Next up, Accord Healthcare returned to the podium to take home the coveted Biosimilar Initiative of the Year for Zercepac®, the first Chinese-origin mAb ever launched in Europe.

The Award for Industry Partner of the Year went to the Biosimilars Forum, the leading US trade association working to advance FDA-approved biosimilars for increased patient access and long-term market sustainability.

On a leadership note, Richard Saynor, Chief Executive Officer of Sandoz, was honoured with the 2022 Leader of the Year award.

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories - Americas was recognized for its cancer care companion solution Alivius, piloted in Colombia. The company’s work in simplifying the journey for cancer patients won it the Company of the Year, Americas award.
Company of the Year, Asia-Pacific went to Samsung Bioepis. Its successful launch of ophthalmology biosimilar Byooviz, SB11, came after the product was the first to gain FDA approval in the United States, alongside green lights in both the European and Canadian markets.
The trophy for Company of the Year, EMEA was awarded to Sandoz, the leading generics company in Europe. After a strong post-COVID recovery, Sandoz continues to out-perform the market where it competes and is gaining market share most notably in retail, driven by a strong ABX performance.
