The major take aways of the 2022 edition represent the foundation for the 2023 Masterclass taking place at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, from 4 to 8 September.
The 5-day program creates a special opportunity for industry professionals to gain more in-depth knowledge, as well as for academics and PhD students to obtain advanced insights into how pharmaceutical supply chains are organized and logistics processes are optimized through applied technology for the pharma and life science sector.
- Gain in-depth knowledge about pharmaceuticals and vaccine production, storage, and handling conditions
- Get a deeper insight into pharma supply chains and related logistical costs
- Identify economic and operational challenges in air and maritime transport of pharmaceuticals and vaccines
- Obtain further knowledge about the last-mile pharmaceutical distribution
- Identify the specific challenges in European, American and Asian pharma logistics
- Share best practices and lessons learned from industry experience

Roel Gevaers, Prof. Dr., University of Antwerp, Chairman of the PLMC, “The Pharma Logistics Masterclass is a perfect example of a collaboration between business and academics and this collaboration also underlines the strong relation between the University of Antwerp and Pharma.Aero.
“With the new location – Singapore – we manage to bring our event to a third continent in three years, which underlines the global dimension of both Pharma logistics and the Masterclass itself.”
Trevor Caswell, Chairman of Pharma.Aero, “The Pharma.Aero Board of Directors is excited and remains very motivated to continue to support the third edition of the International Pharma Logistics Masterclass, that will be held in Singapore.
“With the strong partnership we have with the University of Antwerp, our strategic airport host partner Changi Airport and other key stakeholders in Singapore, will ensure this state-of-the-art pharma logistics masterclass will meet or exceed the very successful second edition masterclass, held in Abu Dhabi this past September.
“We recommend our members, and students to register early and take advantage of the early-bird pricing – as this masterclass will likely sell out.”
Lynette Cheah, Associate Professor and Acting Head of Pillar, Engineering Systems and Design, SUTD, “The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is honoured to be the venue host to the third edition of the International Pharma Logistics Masterclass.
“Ranked by the World Bank as Asia’s top logistics hub for 10 years in a row, Singapore offers world-class connectivity to the region and beyond.
“Home to the Port of Singapore Authority, the world’s busiest transshipment sea port, and Changi Airport, one of Asia’s largest cargo airports, Singapore helps companies access global market through our excellent infrastructure and connectivity.
“This is a great opportunity for us to share some of Singapore’s models and ideas through this masterclass and engaging participants in important applications in supply chains, transportation and logistics, which is a focus of the Engineering Systems and Design pillar at SUTD. See you in Singapore and SUTD!”
Frank Van Gelder, Co-Chair of the International Pharma Logistics Masterclass, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, “Being in Singapore underlines the global collaborative vision and drive Pharma.Aero embraces, and which is needed to make the International Pharma Logistics Masterclass a source for every company working in the field of pharma logistics.
“The strong collaboration and exchange of insights with the academic world on the subject, will definitely further mature in working with top companies and academic researchers from Singapore.
“Grafted on the essential takeaways of the past two versions of the masterclass in Antwerp and Abu Dhabi, this masterclass will further delve into the most important developments in both scientific and industrial areas.
“In other words, for those who are seriously involved in pharma logistics, you better be there and exchange ideas, insights and experiences with the faculty and learners from all over the world.”
Wouter Dewulf, Director C-MAT, University of Antwerp, “Singapore hosts excellent academic institutions as SUTD and has a range of world class pharmaceutical industries and logistics facilities in both the air and maritime transport environment.
“After successful Pharma Logistics Masterclasses in Antwerp and Abu Dhabi, the third edition in Singapore will for sure be a Pharma Logistics Masterclass 3.0, where business can meet academics, and vice-versa, in an inspiring environment”.
