In-licensing

What we are looking for

Almirall is permanently searching and seeking new licensing and M&A opportunities in dermatology, mainly projects which have passed the proof-of-concept in man successfully. Thanks to our expertise in this therapeutic area and a straightforward initial assessment process, we are able to react rapidly and move negotiations forward in a short time.

What we offer

Almirall's business model is a successful combination of R&D and corporate development where in-licensing will continue to be a key driver of future growth for our company. Our most recent in-licensing deals (eg. Sativex, Sitagliptin, Linaclotide, Silodosin) illustrate Almirall potential of establishing alliances from biotech to Big Pharma companies.

Our experience allows us to provide significant added value to companies who want to partner with a dynamic and growing mid size European company, capable of successfully marketing its assets, and willing to give the right priority to the in-licensed projects.

Our clinical and regulatory teams will offer their experience and expertise to ensure that the most appropriate development is carried out and the project successfully reaches the market.

How we work

Almirall actively looks for business opportunities with a common objective, shared by the entire organisation: to obtain licenses with high added value, forward-looking products and technologies to provide society with innovative drugs that contribute to improving the health and quality of life of human beings. Almirall can assist our partners at clinical development, regulatory process, price setting and marketing level.
