Boehringer Ingelheim unveils new $11.8 billion strategy in R&D

12 November 2015

German family-owned drug major Boehringer Ingelheim has detailed a new research and development strategy and says it will focus on pursuing outside collaborations.

The company plans to invest 11 billion euros ($11.8 billion) over the next five years as part of a new research and development strategy. Of that, 5 billion euros will go to preclinical research through 2020, and 1.5 billion euros will go to collaborations with external partners.

Andreas Barner, chairman of the company, said: "This is another decisive step to position Boehringer Ingelheim for long-term growth... we are looking forward to addressing unresolved challenges in immunology, respiratory and cardiometabolic medicine, as well as in oncology, in diseases of the central nervous system and beyond."
