ClinTec International www.clintec.com is delighted to announce that it has been named as a recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise. This accolade, bestowed by Her Majesty The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister and advisory committees, was announced on the 21st of April 2011, Her Majesty’s birthday, and is widely recognised as the most prestigious business accolade for any organisation operating in the UK.

ClinTec was one of the first global contract clinical research organisations to establish a presence in the Middle East and North Africa and has continued to expand into South Africa, India, Latin America and South East Asia. Concurrently, ClinTec has continued to strengthen its position in the more traditional European and North American markets.
