Wasfa EXPO is a major gathering for Algeria’s pharmaceutical sector. It takes place from October 1 to 3, 2026 at Rusica Park Hotel in Skikda, under the high patronage of the Minister of Pharmaceutical Industry, and under the auspices of the Wali of Skikda, the Director of Public Health, and the Rector of the University of Skikda. The theme of this edition is: “When AI changes everything; the pharmacist is at the heart of the action”.
The Forum runs from October 1 to 3, 2026 at Rusica Park Hotel, Skikda, Algeria. All sessions and the exhibition take place at the congress venue.
Skikda is located in eastern Algeria and offers easy access to major medical cities. The city has a dynamic pharmaceutical ecosystem (laboratories, distributors, pharmacies), high-quality hotel infrastructure, and strong institutional support. Its geographic position makes it possible to attract a broad and diverse audience.
The Forum is aimed at pharmacists, physicians, laboratories, distributors, students, researchers, and public institutions. Each profile finds tailored opportunities: scientific updates, discovery of innovations, product promotion, and research development.
Registration is completed online on the Registration page. Select your profile (visitor, exhibitor, or sponsor). Sponsor packages (Visibility, Premium, and Strategic) are reserved for sponsor partners. Early-bird pricing is available until July 31, 2026.
Exhibitors benefit from exceptional national and regional visibility, a premium exhibition space, meetings with key professionals, multichannel communication before, during, and after the forum, as well as the opportunity to take part in conferences and round tables to position their company as a player in the pharmacy of the future.
The Algerian pharmaceutical market is estimated at approximately 4.5 billion dollars, with annual growth of around 6%. Local production represents approximately 65% of the market and continues to increase. The sector employs approximately 45,000 people. Digitalization and artificial intelligence are ministerial priorities for 2026.
