Digital Scrip Awards 2020 Shortlist
Congratulations to all of our finalists for 2020.
We are delighted to announce the shortlist for the Digital 16th Annual Scrip Awards.
Over the summer, our panel of 14 respected judges has reviewed all the entries to produce a shortlist that displays the wealth of innovation, dedication and hard work that the pharmaceutical and biotech industries have shown over the past year.
The full range of industry activities from big pharma, biotech companies and CROs is represented: from novel deals, to new drug launches and innovation in R&D. This year we have a new award to reflect the rapid maturing of China’s biopharma sector, the China BioPharma Leadership Award.
The Scrip Awards provides the industry with an opportunity to acknowledge its highest achievers across all parts of the value chain and to recognize both corporate and individual achievement.
As in previous years, we will be announcing the winner of the Pharma Company of the Year Award on the night, just as we do for the Lifetime Achievement Award. And as 2020 has been year unlike any other for the industry, we will also be recognizing its unparalleled contribution to the coronavirus pandemic with Scrip’s Special Award for COVID-19 Response.
We are thrilled that so many of you have taken the time to enter and sorry that not everyone can make the shortlist.
This year's winners will be announced at the online Awards presentation on 2 December. Click here to register your place!
