About usFollowing its launch in 1990 the scope of CPhI Worldwide expanded to include sub-sectors experiencing rapid growth such as contract manufacturing, contract research and contract services. Technology was becoming more accessible and many organisations were investigating outsourcing all or part of their production and research processes. Pharmaceutical companies started to look for partners throughout the world that would have the best strategic fit with their own organisation. These developments underlined the need for a global meeting place for the pharmaceutical industry and the subsequent launch of ICSE, the International Contract Services Expo alongside CPhI Worldwide in 2000. Now in its 12th year ICSE is the only truly global exhibition dealing with pharmaceutical outsourcing. ABC AuditedICSE is an ABC audited event.
