Kyowa Kirin continuously works on research to discover new drugs by taking advantage of the state-of-the-art biotechnologies in the four key areas of oncology, nephrology, immunology/allergy, and the central nervous system under the management philosophy that “the Kyowa Kirin Group companies strive to contribute to the health and well-being of people around the world by creating new value through the pursuit of advances in life sciences and technologies.”
Creating new value is essential for sustainable growth. We have been working on open innovation through collaboration with academia and other sectors for more than 20 years to provide “new value.” We will continue to develop revolutionary new drugs by organically connecting expertise and know-how inside as well as outside the company.
We will be able to deliver new drugs under the KYOWA KIRIN brand to patients in Europe and the U.S. and other overseas markets during the period of the current Mid-Term Business Plan. We have a renewed sense that we have been steadily growing into one of the few companies in the world that has its own distinctive value.
Combining individual strengths of all our employees, we will continue to contribute to the health and well-being of people around the world. We look forward to your ongoing support in our endeavors.
