How We Work Together
Joining forces, creating value
The strategic importance of licensing and business development within Merck Serono is reflected in the way these activities
are integrated into one unique functional area: Portfolio Development. Within this structure, we combine the following highly
specialized functional units:
-
Early-Stage Licensing and Business Development to source and harvest the best external opportunities
-
Merck Serono Ventures to work together as early as possible with start-up companies
-
Portfolio Management to provide an unbiased view on pipeline quality and support key company decisions
-
Global Product Units and Project Management to drive Development projects to the market
-
Alliance Management to successfully manage relationships and projects around in- and out-licensing partnerships
Together, we are responsible for driving an aggressive portfolio strategy across internal projects and external opportunities
to create and deliver a value- and risk- balanced pipeline achieving Merck Serono’s growth and sales targets.
