The pharmaceutical innovation journey
This campaign aims to demonstrate the value of the pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem and business models to patients and healthcare systems around the world by deepening understanding of how innovation happens and showing how the pharmaceutical industry enables innovation. We will show you how innovation happens and how the pharmaceutical industry enables innovation. We will also show that innovation is a risky, unstable, long road with failures, dead ends, and ups and downs.
Against this backdrop, our colleagues, with their strong determination, skilled and creative ideas, are rising above these challenges to make a difference in the lives of patients around the world.
The development of new drugs and vaccines can change the way diseases are prevented, treated, and cured. It is a risky, unpredictable, but important journey. That's why we are #AlwaysInnovating.
AlwaysInnovating Campaign
At the heart of the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical innovation comes from pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge to create new drugs and vaccines for people around the world.
The world continues to face major global health challenges such as cancer, drug resistance, Alzheimer's disease, and pathogens that could cause future pandemics. #AlwaysInnovating will lift the curtain on the innovation journey and reveal the knowledge, skills, collaboration, and tenacity needed to turn ideas into medicines and vaccines that bring hope to people around the world.
