Premios Human Resources 2024 - Hovione

We are proud to have been nominated in three categories for HR Magazine’s annual awards, for Team Spirit and Engagement, Internal Mobility and Best HR Director.

At Hovione, we talk about "Team Members” rather than “employees”, emphasizing the company's commitment to fostering a culture where teamwork is not just valued but integral to achieving collective success. We believe that individuals work best when they feel supported and are working towards a shared goal. 

Hovione is a global company with a diverse range of roles across different disciplines. This means that we can offer team members the opportunity to explore new horizons and expand their skill sets within the company, enriching their career experiences and driving innovation across the organization.

The awards are decided by a public vote which is open until the 17 May.

Every year, the largest bank in Portugal, Caixa Geral de Depósitos recognizes some of Portugal’s brightest young minds through the Caixa +Mundo Awards, providing nearly €800,000 in scholarships to students as they pursue higher education. In this year´s edition, Caixa named the award bestowed upon students pursuing science for Diane Villax. This prestigious honor places Diane Villax among the award’s namesakes – a distinguished group of prominent personalities who have made notable contributions to Portugal´s socio-economic, cultural, political and scientific development over the last 50 years, such as António Ramalho Eanes, Mário Soares, José Saramago, Sophia de Mello Breyner, Leonor Beleza, Elvira Fortunato, Rui Nabeiro, Américo Amorim, and José Manuel de Mello. Diane Villax will also honor the seven scientific award winners by personally meeting with each of them, and following their journeys as future innovators and leaders. But this honor is about far more than one individual. It is a celebration of an entire organization and the people behind it. For 67 years, generations of dedicated teams have worked together with passion, purpose, and excellence to manufacture life-saving medicines and advance science that has a real impact on people. This recognition belongs to all of us.

Hovione and Industrial Design Consultancy Ltd.’s (IDC) lead single-use nasal dry powder device is now available for commercial partnerships.

With a patented design and manufacturing process established, the platform is available for partnering with pharmaceutical companies on an exclusive basis as part of Hovione’s integrated offering for inhalation and nasal drug development and manufacturing.
