Global Product Development

Whatever the size of your project, we will manage it.

Global  Product Development

Most Animal Health products are developed with a global perspective, given that the EU and US are the most highly regulated markets. Scientific data produced for obtaining marketing authorizations in these markets can be effectively leveraged to facilitate expansion into other regions, including South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and VICH (International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products) provide well-established guidelines that are recognized by the majority of relevant markets worldwide.

While further harmonization of regulations is ongoing, different regions still present distinct challenges that must be navigated carefully.Implementing a successful global development plan for Animal Health products requires a knowledgeable team orchestrated by an experienced project leader.
