Sanofi’s Consumer Healthcare Business Unit has today launched a new Open Innovation Portal, allowing the wider supply chain community to submit their creative, disruptive, and game-changing solutions to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving consumer healthcare landscape. Startups, entrepreneurs, research institutions, accelerators, universities and more can now respond online to challenge areas that have been identified by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare, from creating sustainable packaging to developing new products and technologies.
The healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly and, post-COVID, with an ever-increasing recognition of the importance of self-care, self-diagnosis and self-treatment. The launch of the Sanofi Consumer Healthcare Open Innovation Portal will facilitate the commercialization of the very best self-care innovative solutions by uniting the boldest and brightest external ideas with Sanofi’s marketing expertise, science infrastructure, scale and consumer reach. Successful submissions will be given the opportunity to drive innovation forward together as collaborative partners on projects with Consumer Healthcare at Sanofi.
