APR announces today the launch of its new Corporate Website reflecting a clear strategic change in the APR Business Model and competitive positioning in order to better compete in the very rapidly changing Healthcare market. The company repositioning is also reflected in its revised logo.
“The Pharmaceutical industry has always been driven by Innovation but today and even more in the future we need new, more co-operative ways to approach innovation and this new paradigm is also valid for development companies like APR”
"Clear new trends such as healthcare reforms, changing demographics, personalized medicines, information technologies and emerging new markets together with the already known driving forces such as increasing pricing pressure and reduced R&D productivity are greatly reshaping the Healthcare playing field and the way Pharmaceutical companies will develop new products and compete," said Paolo Galfetti, Chief Executive Officer of APR. "The Pharmaceutical industry has always been driven by Innovation but today and even more in the future we need new, more co-operative ways to approach innovation and this new paradigm is also valid for development companies like APR," continued Paolo Galfetti.
