About Us

Breathing New Life into Proven Medicines

pharmaand GmbH (pharma&) is a privately owned global company headquartered in Vienna, Austria. Since our inception in 2017, we have been dedicated to preserving the availability and fostering the further development of essential medicines worldwide to leave no patient behind. Access to effective medicine is a top priority for healthcare providers and patients. It can be devastating when those medicines are no longer available.

Whether a former blockbuster or niche medicine, we have acquired the worldwide rights to and integrated 10+ high-need specialty therapeutics.

Our global network of partners, combined with our presence in 15 countries with a geographic focus on Europe and the U.S., spans all pharmaceutical functions, making us an integration powerhouse across the development continuum. This includes full value chain capabilities covering the entire product life cycle.

Portfolio of Essential Medicines

As medicines become more mature, they are often given lower priority within a company’s portfolio and eventually may be discontinued. As a commercial-stage company, our global strategy focuses on acquiring worldwide rights to high-need specialty therapeutics, securing long-term access to essential medicines.

pharma& continues to adapt and grow our portfolio across a wide range of therapy areas, with an increasing focus on hematological and oncological treatments. Our portfolio includes essential medicines in the following therapeutic areas:

Acquisition 

pharma&’s early flexibility enables rapid scaling and is part of our strong foundational core. With this agility, we have taken bold steps, such as acquiring Pegasys® (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Rubraca® (rucaparib), to expand our portfolio and capabilities. Our experience allows for fast product and business integration, with an adaptive mindset responsive to business needs and transformation.

This allows for creative business optimization and strategic risk-taking, positioning us to meet our mission long-term: preserving the availability and fostering the further development of essential medicines worldwide to leave no patient behind.
