Over the years, extensive R&D efforts and superior marketing expertise at Abbott Laboratories have yielded a number of successfully commercialized products in the health care industry. In addition to our own internal efforts, Abbott has a proven track record in establishing collaborative relationships to identify, develop and commercialize promising new technologies and products that are aligned with our core franchises. We are committed to continuing our successes in these areas.

The Global Licensing & New Business Development (GLNBD) teams at Abbott Laboratories are responsible for the identification, scientific evaluation, and creation of strategic alliances for new opportunities. We aggressively seek these relationships to facilitate the discovery and commercialization of novel products to the mutual benefit of Abbott, our partners, while striving to provide quality healthcare worldwide.

Abbott Laboratories understands that creating the right partnership requires the commitment of the parties to the alliance and a framework for sharing value as the partnership succeeds. Our organization is structured to provide expertise throughout the assessment process.

In addition, our GLNBD team is charged with establishing and maintaining relationships with world-renowned scientists, key universities, and top-tier research institutions. Through relationships with key thought leaders, Abbott seeks to maintain access to cutting-edge technologies and teams throughout the world that together with our expertise supports our collaborative efforts and establishes the basis for an alliance.

We look forward to working with you to build a successful partnership, and encourage organizations with successful research or research technologies in our focus areas of medical products (devices, diagnostics and nutritional) & Pharmaceutical Products to contact us by completing the appropriate submission form on this website or sending us an email containing a non-confidential summary of the proposal to licensing@abbott.com.
