Shaping the Drug Delivery Ecosystem
Join us at the PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference 2025 scheduled to take place on 21-22 October 2025 in Vienna, Austria, a city renowned for its rich history, elegance, and cultural heritage. This year’s theme, Shaping the Drug Delivery Ecosystem, explores the intersection of science, technology, patient experience, and sustainability in injectable combination products.
The program opens with the PDA Drug Delivery Innovation Award and a powerful plenary session featuring perspectives from patients and healthcare professionals. These keynotes will highlight the importance of designing solutions that are not only clinically effective but also patient-centric. Expert presentations will explore how pharmaceutical companies are responding to the evolving demands of combination product development and how evaluating drug and device deliverability – from the molecular scale to the patient experience – can drive meaningful innovation.
