Why partner with us?


Full, global value chain: Proteins from molecule to market

For 80 years we have discovered, developed and marketed protein-based products. In so doing, we leverage our world-class expertise in all aspects of expressing, engineering, formulating and delivering proteins.

We are committed to engineering proteins into safe and effective therapies, and also to developing new and improved protein delivery systems for people relying on our products. Novo Nordisk pursues this technology route to further enhance user convenience and therapeutic outcomes. That is how we take proteins all the way from molecule to market.

You benefit from all of our strategic assets when we collaborate. Our reach is global throughout the value chain. Our people are employed in 79 countries including Denmark where we are headquartered. General practitioner and specialist sales forces market our products in 179 countries, and our global regulatory affairs function obtains and maintains the market authorisations for all products and is responsible for all product labelling.

Large-scale facilities in Denmark, US, Brazil, France, Cina, and Japan manufacture our products, while Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control Supply takes place in Denmark.

We perform research and development of innovative medicines in Denmark, US, and China together with our four dedicated clinical development centres in USA, Europe, Japan, and China.

Focus: Life-long dedication to patient care is our business

Focus is our strength. Novo Nordisk is dedicated to making a marked difference in the lives of people who rely on our protein-based therapies. That is why we focus on a few, mutually re-enforcing therapeutic areas. And why we engage in them for the really long term. Our 80 years history testifies this. Our financial, social and environmental results and commitments speak for themselves.

This is on our mind when we evaluate your project and engage with you in a joint development. We form an alliance when it serves the parties’ joint business purpose and the cause we stand for. Once engaged, we commit what it takes to truly advance patient care and create sustainable business results.

Your product matters to us because of our focus. And our size enables us to move swiftly and flexibly towards creating the agreement that suits both of us while providing global reach.

Fairness: Decency is what counts

Balancing social, environmental and financial results permeates the way we do business. At the end of the day, we want to look ourselves, our peers, their children and grandchildren in the eye. Confident that we did what was fair.

The same goes in our work with you. We recognise that each partner opportunity is unique and we have a dedicated organisation and process in place to reflect this. In any case, we want to be able to look you in the eye – before, during and after our collaboration.
