Ireland's pharma community is invited to enter the Pharma Industry Awards 2026, with submissions already opening on 2 June and the deadline set for 21 August.

Founded in 2014, the awards recognise and celebrate the most original and innovative individuals and companies demonstrating excellence across the Irish pharma industry.

Finalists will be announced on 25 September, before the awards gala takes place on 26 November 2026 at the Johnstown Estate Hotel.

The ceremony brings together hundreds of senior executives from across Ireland's pharma community, providing a platform to connect with the sector's most influential figures and leading talent.

Submissions are assessed by an independent judging panel drawn from academia, business and related sectors, with the process governed by strict confidentiality agreements and conflict of interest declarations.

Shortlisted entrants receive national exposure through communications partner The Irish Times online, while winners take home a prestigious accolade and post-awards media coverage.
