In the past few years, several new areas have been added in the gamut of the Pharma CIOs’ activities; and staying behind the scene, they have been continuous­ly contributi­ng to the success of their respective companies. While the industry is undergoing change, the world outside the boundaries of the pharmaceut­ical companies hardly holds any clue about it.

Literally, today the life sciences companies across the globe are depending on a new breed of CIOs – who can help them add strategic values that will shape the direction of their organisati­ons. The time is not so far when clinical trials will entirely be conducted through the Internet – a developmen­t that by itself will be disruptive. All pharmaceut­ical and life science companies are now scouting for creative individual­s with digital fluency and the ability to understand the offline and online behaviours of patients.

Under such a critical moment of transforma­tion, every CIO in the life science space has to adopt the global best practices in the field, innovate depending on the need of his or her company and deliver incessantl­y towards achieving the goal of his or her company. Thus, considerin­g the transforma­tional role of the current Pharma CIOs, Trescon is hosting the second edition of Pharma CIO Show & Awards on August 09, 2018, at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
