What alliances are we looking for?

We are looking for partners with whom to build lasting relationships, based on trust, complementarity and a shared vision. Because when science, experience, and purpose meet, we can accelerate the development of innovation by moving faster toward what really matters: improving people's lives.

In-licensing and co-development

We seek to collaborate with companies that share our ambition to develop innovative solutions for people living with serious, complex or underserved diseases. We are interested in assets, technologies and projects aligned with our therapeutic focus, backed by a solid scientific base and with the potential to generate a significant impact on patients. We are open to different collaboration models and adapt each alliance to the characteristics of the project and the needs of our partners.

As an integrated company, we bring capabilities in development, manufacturing, regulation, market access and commercialization to contribute to the development and maximize the potential of each project. More than an agreement, we seek to build long-term strategic alliances, based on trust, complementarity of capabilities and the creation of shared value for our partners, patients and society.

We bring the expertise, regulatory and marketing expertise needed to make an impact in complex and rapidly evolving local markets. In addition, our established relationships with academic organizations and companies dedicated to cutting-edge research allow us to continue to contribute new knowledge, experience and capabilities to accelerate early or advanced developments.

Our flexible, vertically integrated organization allows us to be truly efficient in analyzing collaboration opportunities and streamlining the decision-making process.

Out-licensing and sublicensing

We are also looking for partners who can help us expand the reach of our assets in markets where we do not operate directly or where knowledge of the local environment can accelerate patient access.

Through out-licensing agreements, or sublicensing or other collaboration formulas, we want to make it easier for these innovations to reach more people, in more territories and with the appropriate support in each market.

To this end, we prioritize collaborations with organizations that bring strong local knowledge, regulatory and access expertise, commercial capabilities, and a shared commitment to project development. For Ferrer, an agreement is the beginning of a long-term collaboration, in which we work together to bring new therapeutic options to more patients.

Strategic alliances

We promote strategic collaborations that allow us to move forward together with our partners by combining scientific, clinical, regulatory, market access and commercial capabilities to bring new solutions to patients.

Our approach to Alliance Management seeks to ensure clear governance, seamless collaboration and sustained value creation throughout the relationship. We promote shared objectives, well-defined roles and agile decision-making that allows us to adapt to the needs of each project and move forward with a common focus.

We believe in relationships based on transparency, trust and co-responsibility. That is why we understand each alliance as a shared commitment to go further for patients. Guided by our purpose, we work with organizations that share our ambition to make a positive impact through innovation.
