OUR LEGACY

Built on a Proven Regulatory Events Legacy

Every established platform begins with a first edition. What defines its future is the experience, purpose and community behind it.

APAC Regulatory Summit has been established by the team behind two of the region’s recognised regulatory affairs platforms, the GCC Regulatory Affairs Summit, which successfully concluded its 11th edition in June 2026 in Dubai, and PharmaReg & MedDevReg AfriSummit, which enters its 6th edition later this year in Nairobi.

For more than a decade, these platforms have brought together regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, healthcare organisations, industry associations and technical experts to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration and address the evolving priorities shaping healthcare regulation.

That journey continues in the Asia-Pacific.

Regional growth across APAC

Why the Summit Matters

Asia-Pacific is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing healthcare markets, yet regulatory requirements, approval processes, and market access pathways remain highly diverse. As innovation continues to outpace traditional regulatory models, closer cooperation between National Regulatory Authorities and industry has become essential.

The APAC Regulatory Summit provides a trusted forum where stakeholders can openly discuss emerging regulatory challenges, share best practices, explore regional harmonisation initiatives, and identify practical approaches that support both innovation and public health.

Key Focus Areas

Key Focus Areas

APAC Summit will address the key regulatory and healthcare priorities shaping the Asia-Pacific region, including:

Pharmaceuticals, Biologics and Advanced Therapies

Emerging regulatory considerations across innovative medicines, biosimilars, vaccines, cell and gene therapies and future healthcare technologies.
