Event Scope and Organisation
The Arab Pharma Manufacturers' Expo (APME 2026) is an international trade fair dedicated to complete pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is designed to facilitate technology transfer, contract manufacturing, sourcing, and strategic investment by connecting global technology suppliers with regional manufacturers. The event will be held at the Jordan International Exhibition & Convention Centre (JIEC), located at Gate No. 3, Mecca Mall, Mecca Street, Amman, Jordan. The JIEC spans 11,000 m² in the city's heart.

Exhibit Sectors and Clinical Relevance
The exhibition will cover a spectrum of product categories critical to pharmaceutical development and production. These include Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), excipients, finished dosage forms, injectables, and biologics, which form the core components of drug products. Packaging systems, encompassing Blister Machines, Filling / Packing / Labeling / Capping Machines, Labels, Aluminum / PVC Foils, Caps / Closures / Rubber Stoppers, are essential for maintaining drug stability and ensuring patient safety. Cleanroom engineering, plant machinery, warehouse automation, and digital manufacturing technologies will be showcased, directly impacting Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and operational efficiency. Specific processing machineries for tablets, capsules, injectables, ointments, and dry syrup powders will be featured. Analytical and biotech lab instruments, including LIMS, glassware, reagents, spectrophotometry, and chromatography equipment, are fundamental for quality control and research. Furthermore, API manufacturing plants and equipment, water treatment and management systems (CIP / SIP, filtration / sterilisation plants), and cleanroom utility equipment and services (HVAC, partitions, AHU, dehumidifiers) will be presented, all crucial for regulatory compliance and product integrity.
Target Audience and Concurrent Programs
APME 2026 targets a diverse professional audience, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract manufacturers, CDMOs, health regulators, and Drug Regulatory Authorities. Professionals in QA, QC, and research, alongside procurement heads and investment decision-makers, are also expected to attend. Running concurrently with the exhibition is the Arab Pharma Conference 2026, which will address “New Trends in Pharmaceutical Industry.” This conference will be conducted entirely in the Arabic language, underscoring its regional focus on knowledge exchange.
