Our approach
Combining expertise is key to innovation and success
Innovation and success with excellent partners
Complementing our own capabilities by establishing long-term relationships with innovative partners from science and industry is an essential element of our strategy.
We recognize that we are not the only pharmaceutical company with expertise and specialized knowledge to discover breakthrough therapies. Each company or academic institution – be it a university, a small biotech firm or a large pharmaceutical corporation – has its own strengths and capabilities. We firmly believe that by combining this expertise and knowledge we can successfully and sustainably contribute to improving therapies for the benefit of our patients, our partners, and ourselves.
With a long-term tradition of successful partnerships all over the world, we are committed to investing even more in accessing and advancing external innovations. With our different partners and our global organization, we work together in all phases of the value chain – from research to development and production to marketing.
Establishing true partnerships – that is our goal
A partnership entails much more than merely signing a deal. What comes afterwards is just as important for the success of a partnership. Good cooperation is essential – on the executive management level as well as on the expert working level. We stand by our commitments and treat our partners with respect.
