MidPharmas

MidPharmas are sustainable businesses that can selectively invest in building for the future, often with a long-term perspective that comes from family or foundation ownership.

Typical MidPharma Profile

  • R&D spend of €10-€500 million per year.

Some MidPharmas come from a family heritage with up to a hundred years or more of profitability from on-market products, typically in one or a few European countries. Others come from a more recent ‘biotech’ heritage, having started with venture capital and/or milestone revenues.
  • Goal is to sustain a profitable and growing enterprise that can last for generations.
