The Women in Pharma Awards 2026 has unveiled its shortlist, marking a significant milestone in Ireland's pharmaceutical calendar. In its second year, the programme has established itself as the country's premier platform for honouring women's contributions to excellence, innovation, and leadership across the life sciences. Categories span the full spectrum of the industry, from Best Female Led Team and Excellence in Senior Leadership across pharma, life sciences, and contract services to Rising Star of the Year and Workplace of the Year, reflecting the breadth of achievement driving sector progress. The awards also include specialised categories for leadership in clinical operations, education and mentoring, supply chain and logistics, engineering and manufacturing, finance, HR, marketing and communications, quality, sales and commercial, and site leadership, alongside two special honours: the Overall Leader Award and the Legacy Award, which will both be announced at the ceremony.
