A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Roche.
Doubling down on investment in R&D (Research & Development) doesn‘t automatically lead to increased outcomes and patient benefits. In fact, the last two decades the Pharma Industry has seen higher R&D costs, a reduced rate of approvals, and fewer commercial opportunities for new drugs.
Moreover, in an environment characterized by disruption, we need a high level of financial flexibility to pivot quickly as new opportunities emerge. In other words, we cannot do more of the same and expect better results.
