The 'European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations' or 'EFPIA' represents the research-based pharmaceutical industry operating in Europe. Through its direct membership of 32 national associations and 43 leading pharmaceutcial companies, EFPIA is the voice on the EU scene of 2.200 companies committed to researching, developing and bringing to patients new medicines that improve health and the quality of life around the world.
"Over the past 30 years, the federation’s member companies and associations have been striving to shape the right framework for our industry to thrive and thus keep contributing to advances in science, innovation and patient wellbeing in Europe." Arthur J. Higgins - EFPIA President - Chairman of the Bayer HealthCare Executive EFPIA Annual Meetings 2008 - Press Conference Speech (Paris, June 2008)
Some of the EFPIA members are: Abbott Laboratories, Akzo Nobel, Almirall, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Baxter International, Bayer Healthcare, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Chiesi Farmaceutici, Eli Lilly and Company, Ēzai, Esteve, Genzyme, Gilead Science, GlaxoSmithKline, Grünenthal, Ipsen Group, Johnson & Johnson, Lundbeck, Menarini, Merck KGaA, Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Nycomed, Orion Oyj, Pfizer, Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, Procter & Gamble, Hoffmann-La Roche, sanofi-aventis, Schering-Plough, Servier, Sigma-Tau, Solvay, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, UCB S.A. and Wyeth.
In May 2008 EFPIA together with the European Commission[1] launched the Innovative Medicines Initiative[2] (IMI) Joint Undertaking (JU) to strengthen the position of Europe in pharmaceutical research. The aim of IMI is to support the faster discovery and development of better medicines for patients and to enhance Europe’s competitiveness by ensuring that its biopharmaceutical sector remains a dynamic high-technology sector. The JU was initiated based on the positive experience in joint research activities during the InnoMed [3] Integrated Project, a pilot funded under the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme, with the two sub-projects InnoMed AddNeuroMed and InnoMed PredTox[4].
