Two series of conferences regarding counterfeit goods and intellectual property will take place as part of the exhibition.

Estimated at over 50 billion Euros per year, the trafficking of counterfeit medicines is an extremely lucrative market for criminal organizations. According to recent studies, the trade in counterfeit medicine represents 5-10% of the total global pharmaceutical market. In addition, 50-90% of all medicine purchased from internet sources are spurious or fake.
