Expanding into non-EU markets opens major growth opportunities for pharmaceutical companies – but it also introduces complex regulatory challenges, particularly in pharmacovigilance (PV).

While EU Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (EU GVP) primarily govern products authorised within the EU, global PV responsibilities often extend beyond Europe. Safety data from non-EU territories can impact EU benefit-risk assessments and regulatory reporting obligations.

A structured, compliant PV framework is therefore essential – not only to meet EU expectations but also to secure local approvals, build reliable partnerships, and ensure sustainable market success.

With my expertise, you gain tailored support to ensure your pharmacovigilance system is globally aligned, locally compliant, and ready for international expansion.

My Services – Supporting EU Companies Expanding Into Non-EU Markets

Pharmacovigilance Training for Non-EU Partners

Tailored training sessions for distributors, license partners, and local representatives to ensure understanding and fulfilment of PV responsibilities.

Pre-Qualification & Auditing of Non-EU Partners

Assessment and auditing of new partners to verify compliance readiness before engagement – mitigating risks early.

Partner Management & Ongoing Oversight

Structured management of international PV partners to ensure transparency, regulatory compliance, and smooth collaboration over time.

Non-EU companies planning to collaborate with European pharmaceutical companies must meet strict EU-GVP requirements – even if the product is initially registered outside the EU.

I help non-EU companies to:

Understand EU-GVP Requirements

Guidance on the pharmacovigilance standards and QMS requirements expected by EU partners and authorities.

Set Up a PV Quality System

Establishment of GVP-compliant pharmacovigilance processes and a documented quality framework.

Prepare for Partnership Readiness

Support in aligning internal processes and documentation, to ensure seamless qualification and onboarding by EU companies.

Without structured PV processes, partnerships with EU companies are often delayed or fail altogether – I help you avoid those risks and ensure regulatory and operational readiness.
