About this event

DUPHAT is a long-running annual pharmaceutical exhibition and conference in Dubai that covers the whole pharma value chain, from raw material suppliers and manufacturers to distributors, pharmacy chains, buyers and regulators. The 2027 edition returns to Dubai World Trade Centre and pairs a large trade floor with a scientific conference accredited for continuing education.

Exhibition segments

The show floor is organised into segments that follow the value chain, so buyers can move from finished products to the machinery and ingredients behind them.

Pharma: branded, generic and specialty medicines
Parapharma and OTC: over-the-counter products, cosmetics and personal care
DUPHAT Tech: manufacturing, packaging and processing machinery
VITASHOWDUBAI: vitamins, supplements, functional foods and nutraceuticals
Startup zone for healthtech, biotech and pharma start-ups

Conference and scientific programme

The conference is a CME-accredited programme of scientific sessions, panels and talks on drug development, digital health and regulatory trends, alongside hands-on workshops, a poster presentation forum for researchers and students, a research award and a pharmacy student competition. The organiser lists accreditation by the Dubai Health Authority for up to 38.5 CPD credit points.

Business meetings

The Pharma Business Hub arranges pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings between manufacturers, distributors and qualified buyers, and a Product Launch Hub gives exhibitors a stage for new products.

Who attends

The audience spans the pharma ecosystem: manufacturers' leadership and business development teams, nutraceutical executives, regional distributors and market access leads, procurement managers and chief pharmacists from retail and hospital pharmacies, packaging and machinery suppliers, logistics and cold-chain specialists, regulators and drug control officials, and consultants, researchers and academics.
