Our Growth Strategy
Evotec’s growth strategy aims to cover the entirety of the early R&D value chain to impact patients’ lives by addressing a broad range of disease areas in collaboration with its partners and by utilising a modality-agnostic approach. In addition, by leveraging the value of its platforms and sharing intellectual property, Evotec seeks to de-risk its portfolio through the breadth and diversity of pipeline assets. The Company aims to have over 170 pipeline assets by the end of 2025, with its first royalties to be received in 2025.
Evotec’s team aspires to impact patient’s lives in four main areas in particular:
PanOmics-driven drug discovery for deep disease understanding and effective therapies
IPSCs "off-the-shelf" cell therapy based on induced-pluripotent stem cells
Just – Evotec Biologics Artificial Intelligence and continuous manufacturing for better access to biologics
End-to-End Shared R&D Integrated business-to-business platform for increased probability of success from target to the clinic
Evotec’s strategic goals include:
- Establishing Evotec’s offer as a best-in-class, integrated disease understanding and precision medicine platform
- Strengthening Evotec’s position as the premier partner to the life sciences sector
- Expanding the breadth of co-owned assets
- Further innovation in biologics by Just - Evotec Biologics
- Identifying risk-balanced, high-reward opportunities through equity investments
- Leveraging the synergies between Evotec’s businesses
