The DCAT Member Company Announcement Forum is a much-anticipated program at DCAT Week in which senior executives from DCAT Member Companies make major news announcements to DCAT Week’s influential attendees and the industry press. 

Exclusive to DCAT Member Companies, the DCAT Member Company Announcement Forum is a valuable platform to highlight key news developments from your company occurring in 2025* in the following areas: 

• Mergers and acquisitions (M&A), including post-M&A integration 

• Significant and critical capital expansions for manufacturing and development capacity across the bio/pharmaceutical manufacturing value chain—raw materials, chemicals, processing aids, excipients, and other inputs; drug substances (small molecules & biologics); drug products; and packaging; and 

• Other key corporate strategic developments occurring in 2025 and beyond. 

*Note: News announcements must be from January 2025 forward. If an announcement was first made prior to January 2025, updated information occurring in 2025 or beyond must be included. In the case of M&A, this can include deal closing or post-M&A integration occurring in 2025 or beyond, and for expansions, updated timelines for completion and launch occurring in 2025 or beyond.
