About MSD Middle East & Africa (MEA Region)

As a leading pharmaceutical company, MSD is aware of the need to incorporate innovation on everything we do to deliver the best possible value to our patients and customers. However, the best ideas may not always pop up where challenges are identified. That´s why MSD wants to support and partner with external talent to collaboratively develop competitive solutions following a win-win approach. Since 2016 the MSD Innovation Factory has been established as an open innovation vehicle for the MEA Region with the main objective of finding co-creation opportunities with external partners to deliver sustainable solutions for our patients and customers.

With a footprint that spans across 2 continents and serving a population of close to 1.7 billion people, MEA is one of the most diverse regions within MSD. Our region is a true melting pot, possessing a rich mix of cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds that are fundamental to our company’s success. As we aspire to improve health and wellness across MEA, we apply the combined knowledge, skills and experiences of thousands of employees in the Human Health, Animal Health, Manufacturing and Research divisions.

Our researchers are at the forefront of exploring new ways to address health challenges, with clinical trials running in several countries across the region. High disease burdens across the region for Cancer, Hepatitis C and Diabetes among many others, keep us conscious of our responsibility, and committed to our mission to ensure that the medicines and vaccines we invent will lead to better health for society for generations to come.

The Innovation Factory is supported by TICBioMed. A digital health association that connects unmet needs with market solutions, bridging gaps across the eHealth ecosystem.
