The European pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Alongside traditional challenges—such as strict regulation or equitable access to treatments—new demands are emerging, driven by sustainability, digitalisation and personalisation. Within this context, the formulation of API pharmaceutical ingredients has become a strategic priority: it must not only ensure safety and efficacy but also align with…

The growing demand for more sustainable and efficient solutions in the pharmaceutical industry has driven the adoption of clean technologies for the production of active ingredients. One of the most advanced and versatile methods is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), especially using carbon dioxide (CO₂). This technique enables the recovery of API pharmaceuticals with high purity,…

In the development and manufacturing of medicines—especially in regulated markets such as the European Union—it is increasingly common to outsource part of the process to specialized companies. This is where two key players come into focus: CMOs (Contract Manufacturing Organizations) and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations). Although often used interchangeably, their scope and functions…
