NAP Pharma: Neutral Air Partner Launches NAP Pharma Vertical Network
Hong Kong, 6 July 2026:
Neutral Air Partner (NAP) has launched NAP Pharma, a specialist community for qualified freight forwarders and air cargo partners active in pharmaceutical, healthcare and life sciences logistics.
The new vertical was officially introduced at NAP’s 10th AGM, OPENAP10, in Marrakech. It brings together pharma-certified SME forwarders, cold chain specialists, packaging providers, technology companies, compliance experts and life sciences logistics professionals within the NAP ecosystem.
NAP Pharma has been created to support independent air cargo specialists operating in one of the most demanding sectors of global logistics, where quality, training, compliance, visibility and trusted partnerships are critical to safe and reliable supply chains.
The initiative builds on NAP’s long-standing strategic partnership with Pharma.Aero, the global platform for Life Science and MedTech supply chain collaboration. After more than four years of cooperation, NAP and Pharma.Aero are expanding their work together through education, knowledge sharing, specialist industry engagement and access to recognized pharma logistics expertise.
Several NAP members have already participated in Pharma.Aero’s Pharma Logistics Masterclass, reflecting the growing interest among independent forwarders in developing dedicated capabilities for pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics.
The next Pharma Logistics Masterclass will take place from 14 to 17 September 2026 in Frankfurt and Antwerp, where NAP Pharma will be present in person as part of its commitment to professional development and cross-industry collaboration in life sciences logistics.
NAP Pharma is also supported by a new collaboration with 4Viso, an all-in-one compliance and risk intelligence platform for pharmaceutical logistics. 4Viso brings a digital compliance perspective to the vertical, with focus areas including audit readiness, risk visibility and structured partner intelligence.
Pharma.Aero and 4Viso both joined NAP on stage at OPENAP10 in Marrakech to present the role of education, compliance and industry collaboration in raising standards across pharmaceutical logistics.
Christos Spyrou, Founder and CEO of Neutral Air Partner, commented:
“We were proud to launch the NAP Pharma Vertical at OPENAP10 in Marrakech. Pharma and life sciences logistics is a sector where quality, training, compliance and trust are essential. Through our strategic partnership with Pharma.Aero, and with the compliance intelligence support of 4Viso, we are creating a focused platform that helps our members build the right capabilities, connect with recognized experts and grow in this important global market.”
Frank Van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, commented:
“Pharma.Aero is pleased to further strengthen its collaboration with Neutral Air Partner through the launch of the NAP Pharma Vertical. Education, knowledge sharing and cross-industry collaboration are essential to improving the quality and resilience of life sciences supply chains. By engaging NAP’s global community of independent air cargo specialists, we see a valuable opportunity to support forwarders who are committed to advancing their pharma logistics expertise.”
Stefan Hollands, CEO and Founder of 4Viso, commented:
“4Viso is proud to support NAP Pharma with digital compliance and risk intelligence for pharmaceutical logistics. As pharma supply chains become more complex, better visibility, structured partner data and audit readiness are becoming increasingly important. We look forward to working with NAP and its members to support more transparent and compliant healthcare logistics.”
The launch of NAP Pharma supports Neutral Air Partner’s wider strategy of building specialist vertical communities that deliver practical value to members and contribute to higher standards across the air cargo industry, strengthening the role of qualified SME forwarders in the safe, reliable and compliant movement of healthcare products worldwide.
